NT Correspondent

Bengaluru: In an unprecedented show of devotion, over 100 fans of Shah Rukh Khan are gearing up to travel from various international destinations to witness the grand premiere of Dunki in their native land, India.

Dive in to discover more about this global celebration! Despite Dunki's worldwide release in cinemas, fans of SRK worldwide are embarking on a journey to India this December for an exclusive Dunki experience.

Motivated by the film's enthralling visuals and emotionally charged scenes that evoke memories of their loved ones in India, these fans are eager to relish the unique joy of watching an SRK film with their families and friends during the festive season.

Representing diverse corners of the globe, these fans are poised to turn this event into a global celebration of their beloved star.

Renowned for their innovative approaches to connecting with Shah Rukh Khan and promoting his films, SRK fan clubs are once again raising the bar for Dunki.

In a clever twist mirroring the film's theme, where SRK's character crosses borders for loved ones via the Dunki route— an illegal immigration path in the film—the fans are choosing the legal route to travel.

The sentiment of making a journey for loved ones resonates strongly with the fans, creating a beautiful parallel with the film's narrative.

A reliable source discloses, "While Dunki will be accessible in the countries where these fans reside, the visuals from the film reminded them of their families and friends back home in India. They want to savor the joy of experiencing an SRK film with their loved ones this holiday season. Fans are making the journey from Nepal, Canada, the United States of America, the U.A.E, and more to catch this film in India, their homeland. Although the exact count of traveling fans is unknown, it's expected to exceed 500+.”

With Dunki's release date set for December 21st, the anticipation among fans is soaring. The recently unveiled Dunki Drop 1 (video unit) and the soul-stirring Dunki Drop 2: Lutt Putt Gaya song have already immersed fans in a world of love, friendship, and family.

Dunki boasts an ensemble cast featuring exceptionally talented actors Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, alongside Shah Rukh Khan.

A JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films presentation, produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan and written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon, Dunki is scheduled to release on December 21st, 2023.
