Dunki: Taapsee Pannu reveals how Rajkumar Hirani was not happy with the pictures getting leaked and further says ‘With Shah Rukh Khan, it is impossible to control the crowd’
Taapsee Pannu debuted in the industry with Telugu films and later on made her way into Bollywood. The actress who has established a name for herself has completed 12 years in the acting industry. For the first time ever, Taapsee will be Shah Rukh Khan's co-star in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. This film will also mark Shah Rukh’s return after a hiatus of four years. The actor just got back from shooting a schedule in Europe with Taapsee Pannu.
In an interview, Taapsee Pannu spoke at length about her ideal collaboration with him and Rajkumar Hirani as well as how the Baadshah of Bollywood and how Hirani was not pleased with the manner the images of Dunki’s shoot from London were being leaked. The 35-year-old actress said, “They tried to not. But we were shooting at Westminster Bridge in London and there is only so much that you can do. Shah Rukh sir also tried a lot. They were not really happy that the pictures came out. But it is not like, ‘Oh the look has now been revealed, a look which would have made us unrecognizable’. It wasn’t that. But Raju sir likes to keep things under wraps. If you look at it, he has not even released a single poster or teaser. There was an announcement video which he shot casually with Shah Rukh sir and released.”
Further, the Haseen Dillruba actress spoke, “Raju sir’s idea is, ‘I want to first finish my film and then reveal details. That’s the kind of filmmaker he is. Shah Rukh sir was in total favor of doing it the same way. But then you can only do so much when you are shooting with a superstar like him. Obviously, people are curious. With Shah Rukh Khan, you can’t control the crowd and that was Sunday, overseas, in London, shooting on Westminster Bridge- you just can’t”.
Taapsee Pannu who was last seen in Shabaash Mithu will next star in Anurag Kashyap’s Dobaaraa. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan who is returning to the big screens after 4 years has three huge films for release. He has Sidharth Anand’s Pathaan with Deepika Padukone, Atlee’s Jawan starring Nayanthara, and Dunki which is slated to release in December 2023.
