After the film, Sunil Pal said, “This Guruvar, or Thursday, Shah Rukh Khan’s latest will dwarf all other films. Rajkumar Hirani (the director of ‘Dunki’) is a magician and SRK is a baazigar. It will mark a hat-trick of hits for him after ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’. Dunki will go on to be a mega blockbuster.”

SRK and Rajkumar Hirani on Tuesday promoted their film in Dubai in a grand way. Videos of the evening have surfaced on the actor’s fan clubs on social media where he is seen recreating his signature pose with his arms stretched out in the air during the drone show at Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.
Dunki has been co-written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon. It is a heartwarming tale of four friends Manu, Sukhi, Buggu, and Balli who dream of settling down in London for a better life but have to undertake an arduous yet life-changing journey to reach their goal.
At one of the events in Dubai, SRK described ‘Dunki’ as his best film.
“So when I made Jawan, I thought I made a film for boys and girls but I didn’t make anything for myself, then I made Dunki. So this is my film. This film is very close to my heart. When I was doing Pathaan, many people who write about films, those who apparently know about films more than the filmmakers, were saying what kind of roles I was doing, so I really felt that I should do films that come from my heart and this includes all the films that I did this year. I started the year with Pathaan, which was always ladies first, and I want to end the year with a film for myself. So, please watch Dunki on December 21. Everyone will find something in the film that will touch their heart. The film will make you laugh also,” he said.
Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Wednesday expressed gratitude towards actor Suniel Shetty as he heaped praise on SRK’s most-awaited film, ‘Dunki’. Khan took to X and wrote, “Thank u Anna (Suniel Shetty). Love u and I hope u laugh and cry in the theater with the story that unfolds as always happens with Raju sir’s films. Big hug”. Shetty in his post praised the director and the entire cast and crew of ‘Dunki’. He mentioned, “Shaahhh…Raju sir…It’s definitely a First Day First Show for me. Can’t wait for the magic of #Dunki to unfold on the big screen. To the entire cast and crew, break a leg! Let the cheers and applause echo through the theaters.
