King Uncle is a 1993 Indian Hindi-language action comedy film directed by Rakesh Roshan. The film stars Jackie Shroff, Shah Rukh Khan, Anu Aggarwal, Nagma, Paresh Rawal, Sushmita Mukherjee, Pooja Ruparel and Deven Verma. The film was inspired from the 1982 English film Annie that starred Aileen Quinn and Albert Finney, which in turn is based on the 1924 comic strip Little Orphan Annie by Harold Gray. The film was a moderate box office success and has since gained cult status, well-received by families and children. Both Shroff and Ruparel's performances received critical acclaim.
