Shah Rukh Khan says he made Dunki for himself, calls the movie his ‘best film’

After giving two mega-blockbusters, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his third and last film of the year, Dunki. The film, which marks the first collaboration between SRK and filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, is all set to release on December 21. Ahead of the big release, the entire Dunki team is busy promoting the movie, and recently, SRK attended an event in Dubai and got candid about his forthcoming, last two releases, Pathaanand Jawan, and many other things.

During his interaction with fans, SRK said that Dunki was a film he made for himself, “So 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 and this includes all the films that I did this year.''

He said further, ''I started the year with Pathaan, which was always ladies first, and I want to end the year with a film for myself. So, please watch Dunki on December 21. Everyone will find something in the film that will touch their heart. The film will make you laugh also.”
