A little film called In Which Annie Gives It To Those Ones is celebrating 30 Years of Release in 2019. The television film may not be familiar with many of the Indian film fans, and we don't blame you for that. But In Which Annie Gives It To Those Ones deserves to be a landmark film for quite a few reasons. For one, this is one of the rare Indian films set against the backdrop of architectural college. Secondly, the movie involves famous author and political activist, Arundhati Roy, as a screenwriter and lead actress. Thirdly, it marks the humble beginnings of two future Bollywood icons -  Shah Rukh Khan and Manoj Bajpayee. Padma Awards 2019: Satyameva Jayate Actor Manoj Bajpayee Receives the Padma Shri Award (View Pics).

Arundhati Roy, television actor Ritu Raj, Roshan Seth and Arjun Raina had played the lead roles in the film. Most of the roles of the students in supporting capacity are filled with Delhi's National School of Drama grads, which brings in Shah Rukh Khan and Manoj Bajpayee in the picture.

Shah Rukh Khan plays a senior student in the film, His role is restricted for a couple of scenes, and his character speaks in Hinglish and has his hand in the sling. This character also gives SRK the opportunity to utter the F-word in a movie, for the first time and perhaps the only time too.

Manoj Bajpayee also plays one of the students in the film, a fact that was reminded to us by the below tweet on his birthday. And if you observe carefully in the credits tile, you can also see future celebs there like actors Vishwajeet Pradhan, Harsh Chhaya and writer-director Habib Faisal.

Shah Rukh Khan later became a popular face on television with his appearances in serials like Fauji, Dusra Kewal, Circus etc. He later made his big screen debut with Deewana in 1992 and the rest is, as the cliched saying goes, history.

Manoj Bajpayee's big screen ventures also had small beginnings with a minute role in Govind Nihalani's Drohkaal. His breakout role happened to be playing gangster Bhiku Mhatre in Ram Gopal Varma's 1998 crime drama Satya, for which he also won the National Award for the Best Supporting Actor. SRK and Manoj Bajpayee later worked together in the late Yash Chopra's Veer Zara, where the latter had a cameo.

Interestingly SRK's peer Aamir Khan also made his adult debut with an indie flick five years before this one. Holi, directed by Ketan Mehta, had released in 1984 and also starred then aspiring movie aspirants like Ashutosh Gowariker, Kitu Gidwani, Neeraj Vora, Raj Zutshi and Amole Gupte.
