Hyderabad: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan unveiled the highly anticipated Dunki trailer on Tuesday. Khan describes the film helmed by Rajkumar Hirani as a wild adventure centered around friendship. The story revolves around four friends from a Punjab village who share a common aspiration: to travel to England. Despite lacking visas and tickets, the film follows their journey and how they strive to fulfill their dream.
The trailer opens with Shah Rukh Khan narrating the tale's origins in 1995 Punjab, where he encounters four determined individuals - Manu (played by Taapsee Pannu), Sukhi (portrayed by Vicky Kaushal), Buggu (enacted by Vikram Kochhar), and Balli (played by Anil Grover) - all desperate to reach London.
Throughout the trailer, Khan's character, Hardayal Singh Dhillon (Hardy), expresses the dire circumstances that pushed him to leave his homeland. The Dunki trailer also reveals a 25-year leap in the story as Hardy returns to Punjab and vows to conclude the journey he embarked upon decades earlier.
Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, known for uplifting movies like Munna Bhai M.B.B.S, 3 Idiots, and PK, Dunki explores the comedic yet dramatic journey of immigration-obsessed Indians seeking unconventional paths to emigrate to countries such as the UK and Canada.
