Shah Rukh Khan’s film is set to clash with Prabhas’ Salaar. Earlier, Salaar was scheduled to hit the theatres on September 28, however, due to some technical issues, the film had to be postponed and the makers announced the big news by sharing a new poster and writing, “Coming Bloody Soon! #SalaarCeaseFire Worldwide Release On Dec 22, 2023.” Salaar is directed by Prasanth Neel, who is best known for the blockbuster KGF franchise and also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruthi Haasan.
Dunki marks the first-ever collaboration of Shah Rukh Khan with Rajkumar Hirani. The film also stars Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal in key roles and will be SRK’s third film in this year after Jawan and Pathaan. Talking about the film, Shah Rukh Khan said in an AMA session on Twitter, “#Dunki is all funny and emotional. It’s Raju sirs world mere bhai. Thoda sa action maine daal diya hai…pata nahi sir rahein na rakhein….woh editor bhi hain na.”🎞️🎥
