At the beginning of the video, King Khan says what movies are Ranbir’s Sanju, Aamir’s PK, and Sanju Baba’s Munnabhai MBBS. All are amazing characters. That’s when Shah Rukh says to the filmmaker, ‘Sir, do I have anything for me. Responding to this, Rajkumar says, yes I have a script, then Shah Rukh says, really, comedy, emotion, romance is sir. At the same time, further, in the video, the film director asks the actor to leave his famous pose, while Shah Rukh will cut off his hand, I will say you. After this Rajkumar Hirani tells him the name of the film, on which Shah Rukh gets a bit confused. Actress Taapsee Pannu is going to be seen in the lead role along with Shah Rukh Khan in a film full of romance, emotion, and comedy.
According to the information, the shooting of the film has started and soon the next schedule of Dunki can be shot on a large scale in Punjab. Talking about Dunki, ShahRukh said- Rajkumar Hirani is one of the finest filmmakers of this generation, we have always talked about working together and I am extremely happy that we are finally working together in Dunki. We have started shooting for the film and I am cherishing every moment of it in my memories. For Raju, I can become a donkey, a monkey… anything.
At the same time, film director Rajkumar Hirani said, ‘Shahrukh Khan has always been on my wish list during my career and after trying to work together many times in the past, now Dunki has finally emerged as our partnership.
