Shah Rukh Khan is celebrating the success of his movie “Jawan,” which has earned a whopping 1000 crores. But there’s more excitement on the horizon. Shah Rukh Khan’s next film, “Dunki,” directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is set to release in India around Christmas. What’s interesting is that the movie will be released on international screens a day earlier, on December 21.
“Dunki” is expected to be a global sensation, and everyone involved in the film is eager to showcase it as a significant offering from Indian cinema worldwide. While “Jawan” primarily targeted the southern market, “Dunki” plans to capture a global audience with its appeal and message.
The decision to release it a day earlier internationally is to take advantage of the extended holiday period. The film is planning a full-fledged release in international markets on December 21, not just late-night premieres. The idea is to generate buzz through word of mouth and build excitement for the weekend from Friday to Sunday. Shah Rukh Khan’s popularity in international markets is expected to help “Dunki” achieve impressive numbers during the four-day weekend before Christmas.
“Dunki” stars Taapsee Pannu in the lead role, with Vicky Kaushal and Dharmendra playing crucial parts. It’s said to be a slice-of-life entertainer that addresses the issue of illegal immigration. The film is currently in the editing phase and is gearing up for a theatrical release during the Christmas weekend.
Shah Rukh Khan confirmed the release date of “Dunki” during the interview of “Jawan,” putting an end to speculations that it might be postponed to the next year. He stated that he considers national holidays when scheduling his film releases and assured fans that “Dunki” will hit theatres during the Christmas season.
