Shah Rukh Khan On Dunki

Speaking about his film, Shah Rukh Khan, last year, conveyed that Dunki, means ‘Donkey’ in English. He said, “In English, my film would be called Donkey, it is Donkey. But the way a part of the country pronounces donkey in India, it is ‘Dunki’. The Punjabis say it (donkey) like Dunki… How much to tell you about the story? It is a film directed by one of the most brilliant filmmakers we have had in our country, Mr. Raju Hirani. It is written by a very fantastic writer, Abhijat Joshi.”

Besides Dunki, Taapsee Pannu will be seen in Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba alongside Vikrant Massey and Sunny Kaushal. The prequel of the film, titled Haseen Dillruba, was directed by Vini Mathew and written by Kanika Dhillon. She is also set for the release of her Tamil movie, Alien.
