Superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s comedy-drama
film ‘Dunki’ drew a massive crowd outside Mumbai’s iconic single-screen
theatre, Gaiety Galaxy, for the first show at 5.55 am today. Amid all these, singer
Shaan revealed that his song titled ‘Durr Kahin Durr’ was removed from the film
by director Rajkumar Hirani.
Taking to X, Shaan wrote, “Good Morning
!!! Today is Dunki Day… I am super excited!! CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IT!! I’m sure everyone
is going to love the movie !!! I just want to clear the air about why my song
was not part of the film… song Durr Kahi Durr, a beautiful breezy duet with Shreya
Ghoshal, was recorded and picturised in Kashmir… but on the edit table… it
was Raju Hirani’s call to drop the song (after a lot of contemplation).”
“He was very transparent about it with
me… and I really appreciate that… and I fully understand that the film is top
priority. Hopefully, you will get to hear the song in his future project… but
not in Dunki,” added the singer.
SRK and Rajkumar Hirani promoted their
film in Dubai in a grand way on Tuesday. Videos of the evening have surfaced on
the actor’s fan clubs on social media where he is seen recreating his signature
pose with his arms stretched out in the air during the drone show at Dubai’s
Burj Khalifa.
Dunki is co-written by Abhijat
Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon. It is a heart-warming tale of four
friends Manu, Sukhi, Buggu, and Balli who dream of settling down in London for
a better life but have to take undertake an arduous yet life-changing journey
to reach their goal.
At one of the events in Dubai, SRK
described ‘Dunki’ as his best film.
“When I made Jawan, I thought I made a
film for boys and girls but I didn’t make anything for myself, then I made
Dunki. So this is my film. This film is very close to my heart. When I was
doing Pathaan, many people who write about films, those who apparently know
about films more than the filmmakers, were saying what kind of roles I was
doing.
So, I really felt that I should do films
that come from my heart… Everyone will find something in the film that will
touch their heart. The film will make you laugh also,” he said.
The film marks SRK’s first collaboration
with Hirani and Taapsee.
