Many people think SRK's first movie was 'Deewana', which was released in 1992. The romantic musical also starred Divya Bharti, Rishi Kapoor, and Amrish Puri. But did you know, that this is not the SRK’s first movie?
Yes, you read that right! SRK had previously starred in a movie before 'Deewana' and to date, not many people have seen it.
Before 'Deewana', SRK had starred in a 1989 telefilm titled 'In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones'. The movie is an Indian English language TV film, which is written by Arundhati Roy.
The film was directed by Pradip Krishen and it starred Arjun Raina as the title character. SRK starred in this film when he was a struggling actor in the Delhi theatre circuit. Shah Rukh had a brief role in the film, playing a gay, effeminate senior.
Not many would know that 'In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones' also received two National Awards. The telefilm is set in the 1970s, and it is a comedy that follows a group of architecture students in their final year of college.
Apart from SRK, 'In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones' also starred Manoj Bajpayee in a small but significant role. In the movie, the writer -- Arundhati Roy, starred as the female lead named Radha.
If you are now wondering where to watch this SRK movie, we have some sad news. It is not available on any streaming platform as the original print of the movie is lost. However, there are some clips from the movie available on YouTube.
Back in the day, the film was screened on Doordarshan.
