Sai Kumar, Shobaraj, Satya Prakash, Avinash, Girija Lokesh, Rockline Venkatesh, Sudheer Babu and Raymond D'Souza. The film was simultaneously dubbed into Telugu, Tamil, and in Hindi a year later. It was later was remade in Bengali Bangladesh as Khobor Ache in 1999. The film's success led to the sequels: Police Story 2 (2007) and Police Story 3 (2011). A spiritual sequel, Agni IPS, was also released in 1997, causing it to create confusion with the Hindi dub title of the film among the northern audiences. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
