In conversation with Pinkvilla, the actress, who essayed the role of Manu Randhawa, said, “This was a dream or a benchmark of sorts that I never thought I'll be able to achieve because I really did not keep it on my list. I was like, this is too good to be true, let's just not even keep it on my list because if I don't achieve it, I'll keep feeling bad about it”
Taapsee Pannu added that she worked for Dunki for two years, so she was lucky to hear all the stories that SRK narrated about his experience. She said, “Now because I have worked for two years shooting this film (Dunki ), I was lucky enough to be with him (Shah Rukh Khan) every single day. We have shot together, there is hardly any stuff we have without each other. It was learning not just in front of the camera, it was learning beyond the camera. Because of the stories that he tells you about his experiences in the last 35 years in the industry to the tricks of actors in front of the camera.”
Dunki clashed with Prabhas' Salaar, which was released on December 22, at the box office.
