Fans have been waiting for the teaser for Shah Rukh Khan’s next film, Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The Hindustan Times has exclusively learnt that the teaser is set to ‘explode’ at 11 AM on November 2. It coincides with the celebrations of Shah Rukh Khan’s 58th birthday.
This year has been a thrilling ride for Shah Rukh’s admirers. King Khan, after a hiatus of four years, has delivered not one, but two all-time blockbusters. Dunki promises a Christmas release on December 22.
This is the first time SRK is collaborating with acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani. The teaser is expected to offer a sneak peek into the storyline. Shah Rukh’s transformation for his role and a reveal of the stellar cast will also likely be revealed. Alongside Shah Rukh, the movie also stars Taapsee Pannu in a leading role.
The film also boasts a lineup of other actors like Dia Mirza, Parikshit Sahni and Boman Irani. Dharmendra, Kajol and Vicky Kaushal will also feature, as per circulating rumours.
The Khan-Hirani collaboration has been a topic of interest since 2003. It was the time when the duo was set to partner on Hirani’s debut film Munna Bhai MBBS. Due to Shah Rukh’s health constraints, the role later went to Sanjay Dutt. Dutt also starred in the sequel Lage Raho Munna Bhai.
Even 3 Idiots was also offered to Shah Rukh first in 2009, as per reports. Khan later called himself the “fourth idiot” for missing out on the role that had gone to Aamir Khan.
“I wish I had worked earlier with him,” Hirani earlier told the Indian Express while speaking about SRK. “He’s a complete charmer and has great control over the language. He surprised me completely by coming at 7 am to shoot.”
