King and small rose) is a 1989 Indian Tamil-language children's film, directed by S. P. Muthuraman, and produced by AVM Productions.

Raja is to be in charge of the administration of the household and take care of five children (Bhaskar's nieces and nephews), each of whom have issues (such as being lazy, not studying etc.).

After the success of Manithan (1987), M. Saravanan of AVM Productions decided to produce another film with the same cast and crew: director S. P. Muthuraman, hero Rajinikanth and composer Chandrabose.

The crew initially wanted to adapt Babu (1971); however, Rajinikanth "felt that the script seemed more like an art film, on the lines of Aarilirunthu Arubathu Varai and Engeyo Ketta Kural" and it would not suit his image.

Screenwriter Panchu Arunachalam reused the script of his own film Unnaithan Thambi (1974) and also drew inspiration from like Mary Poppins (1964) and The Sound of Music (1965).

Raghuvaran was chosen to portray a negative role after the makers were impressed with his performance in the television series Oru Manithanin Kathai.
