There is a very special project by Raj Kumar Hirani with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Previously in April, SRK took to social media to announce his next movie Dunki.
With this, it marks SRK and Hirani’s first collaboration together. Furthermore, Taapsee Pannu is joining the cast. Shah Rukh even called Hirani his ‘Santa Claus’ in the caption. Yup, only Santa could have pulled off this casting coup. Psst, also because it is a Christmas 2023 release!
The actor announced the news with no teaser, no first look, but a quirky video featuring King Khan himself with the Star Maker, Rajkumar Hirani. Sharing the video, SRK wrote, “Dear @hirani.rajkumar sir, Aap toh Mere Santa Claus nikle. Aap shuru karo main time pe pahunch jaunga. actually main toh set par hi rehne lagunga!Feeling humbled and excited to finally work with you. Bringing to you all #Dunki in cinemas on 22nd December 2023 @taapsee @gaurikhan @redchilliesent @rhfilmsofficial (sic).”
The announcement video starts with SRK staring at a wall full of posters of Rajkumar Hirani films. Soon, Hirani walks up to him, and SRK praises him for creating iconic characters like Sanjay Dutt’s Munnabhai MBBS and Aamir Khan’s PK.
Shah Rukh then asks Hirani if he has a script for him. Hirani says, “Ek kahani hai,” which promises oodles of comedy and emotion. What about romance, the Dil Se actor asks. “Hai sir, but aap yeh wala action avoid kijiyega,” adds Hirani, referring to SRK’s signature hands-stretched pose. “Haath hi kaat lunga main, sir aap bolo toh (I will chop off my hands, you just tell me),” SRK adds at the end.
Notably, Dunki has been written by Rajkumar Hirani, Abhijaat Joshi, and Kanika Dhillon, and has been produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan. The film went on the floor this April 2022, with the next schedule being shot extensively in Punjab.
