Shah Rukh Khan was recently in Dubai to promote his upcoming film ‘Dunki’, which is helmed by Rajkumar Hirani. During the promotional event, the actor talked about the meaning of his film ‘Dunki’, and called it his ‘best film.’ He also mentioned how after making films for boys and girls – ‘Jawan’ and ‘Pathaan’ – he has made ‘Dunki’ for himself.
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.”

He further added, “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.”
Explaining the meaning of the film’s title, SRK said, “Dunki is an illegal trip a 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.”

The actor mentioned how you can stay anywhere in the world but you can find rest only on the soil of your nation. Hence, his film is about those people who have left their home, be it for work or anything else. However, they all have a feeling that their homes are the very place to be in. “This film celebrates that, that wherever we are, that becomes home,” he said.
Asked to describe ‘Dunki’ in three words, the actor signed off by saying, “Rajkumar Hirani, my best film and please watch it on 21st December.”
‘Dunki’ also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in lead roles.
