Shah Rukh Khan had previously shed light on the intriguing title of his upcoming film, ‘Dunki,’ during an interview at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia in December 2022.

Describing the essence of the story, Shah Rukh Khan stated, “It is a film directed by one of the most brilliant filmmakers we have in our country, Mr. Raju Hirani. Written by a very fantastic writer, Abhijat Joshi. It is a story of people who want to come back home… when you finally get the calling.”
Furthermore, Shah Rukh Khan emphasized that ‘Dunki’ is a comedy, typical of Rajkumar Hirani’s films, which blend humor with heartfelt emotions about the country. The film takes the audience on a grand journey through various parts of the world, only to return home to India, making it a captivating and entertaining cinematic experience.
With Shah Rukh Khan’s charisma, Rajkumar Hirani’s genius, and the excitement surrounding ‘Dunki,’ this film promises to be a must-watch for fans and movie enthusiasts alike.
