Shah Rukh Khan recently flew to Dubai to promote his upcoming film Dunki. At the promotional event in Dubai, the actor explained the meaning of his film Dunki, the sentiment behind it, and how after making films for boys and girls – Jawan and Pathaan – the actor has now made a film for himself. He also called Dunki his ‘best film.’
Speaking about his previous films, Jawan and Pathaan, SRK said, “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.”
The actor also explained the meaning of Dunki and said, “Dunki is an illegal trip lot of people take to get out of their country across borders all over the world. It is called the Donkey travels. So, the film is about going out and finding a future for yourself but loving your home the most. So it’s about homecoming. So, you can stay anywhere in the world but you can rest only on the soil of your nation. So, that’s what the film is about.”
He also said, “Dunki, is about all those people who have left their home because of work and made a home somewhere else, like you guys have made in Dubai. But there is always a feeling in our heart that our home is a very place to be in and this film celebrates that, that wherever we are, that becomes home.”
When Shah Rukh was asked to describe Dunki in three words, the actor said, “Rajkumar Hirani, my best film and please watch on 21st December.”
The film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in lead roles.
