In an interview, Shah Rukh Khan shared insight on choosing roles that center around age. He discloses, "I am 58 now, and I feel I should do age-centric roles now. Jawan was more like a commercial, 'in-your-face' kind of character. I won't call it a caricature, but it was an over-the-top old person. In Dunki, he is very real. And to be a certain age and span that many years is very interesting. I would say I have been 'age honest' for the first time in Dunki. It's more close to my age. And I think I have tried to play it as real as possible."

Dunki stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Boman Irani, are the first project that SRK and Hirani have collaborated on. On December 21st, the film, which revolves around the idea of donkey flight, was released in theaters. Jawan, SRK's previous film, was a huge commercial success. Few people are aware that Hirani initially approached SRK to play Munnabhai in his first film, Munnabhai M.B.B.S. Fans and the two creative titans have been desperate to work together ever since.
