New Delhi:
Two movie geniuses are ready to work together on a project for the first time, and it couldn’t get any better. Shah Rukh Khan just announced his next project on social media on Thursday and it is with acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani. The film will also star Taapsee Pannu and is being produced by SRK and Gauri Khan’s production house Red Chillies Entertainment. The film, titled Dunki, will be released on December 22, 2023. Sharing the announcement video, Shah Rukh Khan wrote in his post: “Dear Rajkumar Hirani, Sir, Aap toh Mere Santa Claus nikle. Aap shuru karo main time pe pahunch jaunga. Actually main toh set par hi rehne lagunga. I feel humbled and excited to finally be working with you. We’re bringing you all Dunki to theaters on December 22, 2023.
The video starts with SRK looking at the posters of some of Rajkumar Hirani’s cult films – PK, Sanju, Munnabhai MBBS, 3 Idiots. SRK then asks Rajkumar Hirani if he has a script for him. Without giving much away, the filmmaker tells him that he and SRK will be working on a film called Dunki, which the filmmaker has promised will be an amalgamation of comedy, emotion and romance (minus SRK’s iconic arms stretching ). We can’t stay calm.
