Taapsee Pannu talks about working with Shah Rukh Khan
Dunki marked the first collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee. In a conversation with The Times of India, the actress spoke about her experience of dating Shah Rukh Khan on screen. “Actually, when your eyes meet, when he looks at you with those expressions, you immediately think of those classic romantic movies that he did and we loved him in those movies,” she said. “So the memory of what I saw of him in movies and that I loved so much slips into that, since most of our scenes were together.” During the first days when he kept looking at me so lovingly, it was very difficult not to freeze in that moment.
In an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla, Hirani spoke about the similarities between Munnabhai Chale America and Dunki. In response to the question, he said: “No, that was a completely different story. That story was basically a brief about George Bush who at that time had made some statements, some anti-Muslim statements that he had made, and the whole story was that these guys were very upset about That, and they said “Hmm, George Bush ko pakad ke India le kar aate hain (We will go to America and bring George Bush to India) It was a story like that.
