The two of them appear to be embarking on an adventure together.
A few days after an up-close glimpse at Shah Rukh from the film leaked online, the image makes its way onto the internet. Shah Rukh Khan posed for the photo with his hair and makeup in disarray. Shah Rukh’s hair was a mess, and he was wearing a plaid shirt that was just partially tucked up. A group of people from the production crew surrounded the actor. Neither Taapsee nor Raju Hirani was present for the photo shoot.
Reportedly, Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, & director Rajkumar Hirani would’ve been jetting off to London and Europe to film. According to rumors, Dunki follows a young Punjabi man as he makes his way to Canada. It has been reported that cross-border immigration is a major plot point in this film.
