While talking about his film, he said, “I made ‘Jawan’ fir maine socha maine ladke ladkiyu ke liye bana di apane liye kuch nahy banayi fir maine ‘Dunki’ bana di. Ye meri vaali film hai jo mere dil ke bahut kareeb hai..year started with ‘Pathaan’ for me, which was always lady’s first for the girls and I want to end the year with a film for me.”
Khan also said he expects the film to leave audiences with a feeling of love for their country and family, “between giggles and laughter.”
He also said, “I don’t know. Raju Hirani saab ne bhi kabhi aesi film nahi banai (Rajkumar Hirani hasn’t made a film like this.) When we finished the film and saw it for the first time, humko aesa laga Raju Hirani saab ne love story bana di hai which spans ages. (When we saw the film, we thought Hirani had made a love story that spans ages).”
In a recent interview, Khan said the film is “touching” and that Hirani has never made a film like it. He also said the film’s name comes from the Punjabi pronunciation of “donkey.”
“It’s a very touching film. I think ye pyaar ki kahani hai, isme action hai jo Raju Hirani ne kabhi dala nhi hai. Both saare sequences aese hai jo I think maine nhi kiye hue. It’s a story of love; it has action that Rajkumar Hirani hasn’t done before. There are many sequences that I think I haven’t done. All that is there but Raju never shows his films in the trailers and teasers. He likes people to come to the theatre and enjoy it. So, you will find lots of love and comedy.”
‘Dunki’ promotion also happened on a giant wheel at the Global Village. King Khan also does his signature pose for his fans.
