After two back-to-back hits, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to woo the audience with his upcoming film, 'Dunki'. Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, the film will hit theatres on 21st December.

Another fan shared his thoughts and said, “#AskSrk sorry sir but I am more excited for dunki. Not because of you but because of Rajkumar hirani.” 

To which the superstar replied, “And that’s the right reason. I am also excited to be in a Raju film. Films are a directors medium….hero toh aate jaate rehte hain! #Dunki”
