This is not the first time that the reports claiming Dunki is getting postponed made headlined. Earlier this year too, similar reports grabbed everyone’s attention, when Shah Rukh Khan clarified saying, “I think, Mashallah, God’s been very kind. We had Pathaan. God’s been even kinder with Jawan. I always tell we started with Republic Day (January 26). It’s an auspicious day. On Janmashtami, we released Jawan. On Christmas, we will bring Dunki for you. I prioritize national integration. And whenever my film releases, it has to be Eid. I’m working hard. I’m working harder than what I worked in last 29 years. And Inshallah, I will work hard. I get happy now when people watch movies and they derive happiness out of them.”

Dunki is directed by Rajkumar Hirani. Besides Shah Rukh Khan, the film also stars Taapsee Pannu, marking their first on-screen pairing together.
