Accepted answer
obviously it will be null, in addition to Kiran's code do one thing , store returnUrl in viewbag and then send it from the view.
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
viewbag.RU=returnUrl;
      if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl))
            {
                return Redirect(returnUrl);
            }
            else
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
            }
      return View();
}

"/Account/Login" method="post">
..... user name and password field
"hidden" value="@viewbag.RT"/>
"submit" value="submit"/>

Hi,
You will have "returnUrl" defined in the query string. (Ex:- xyz.com?returnUrl=home20%DisplayUser). You can add below code to handle such URL requests.
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
      if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl))
            {
                return Redirect(returnUrl);
            }
            else
            {
                return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
            }
      return View();
}

There is a special query string called ReturnUrl , that you can observe in url when a user request a page before login.
so after successful login redirect the user to "ReturnUrl" .
