“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 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,” Taapsee Pannu added.
Dunki was released on December 21 last year. In addition to Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu, the film stars Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in important roles. Dunki is backed by Red Chillies Entertainment, Jio Studios and Rajkumar Hirani Films.
