Roop ki Rani Choron Ka Raja (The Queen of Beauty and the King of Thieves) is a 1993 Indian Hindi action comedy film starring Anil Kapoor, Sridevi, Jackie Shroff, Anupam Kher and Johnny Lever. It was the highest-budget Indian film at that time. The film was directed by Satish Kaushik and written by Javed Akhtar. The project, announced in 1987, was initially directed by Shekhar Kapur, who left the project halfway through; he was subsequently replaced by Satish Kaushik. Despite its massive budget, which was escalated by the delay, it flopped miserably at the box office upon its release in 1993
