Regarding Dunki Dunki is centered on the topic of immigration during its entirety.

Right from the start, Shah Rukh found the plot to be enjoyable.

The reason he was so involved and thrilled about it was because, as an actor, he wanted to do something different after working on action movies. This is the rationale behind his involvement. In addition, I had a long-standing desire to collaborate with him, and today, I am able to say that my request has been granted. Finally, we were able to work together, and we had a great time.
