Meanwhile, three days before the film’s release, production company Red Chillies Entertainment released a special video in which SRK, Taapsee and Rajkumar Hirani have a heart-warming conversation about the origin story of Dhanki and various aspects of its production.
The 29-minute video begins with director Shah Rukh Khan’s characteristically witty scenes and asks director Rajkumar Hirani to narrate the entire story of the film so that viewers don’t get confused about Dhanki or its pronunciation. I’m urging you. However, the “intelligent” Hirani points out to SRK that revealing the entire story now will discourage people from watching the film in theaters. “This is why Rajkumar Hirani is Rajkumar Hirani. He never reveals the story of his films, even in the trailer,” he quipped SRK, who is the director and lead actor. It made Taapsee Pannu burst out laughing.
As the video progresses further, we see how some interesting residential architecture that Hirani came across in Punjab planted a seed of thought in his mind that further developed into the exploration and understanding of donkey flight. You can see him explain what ultimately led to the birth of Danki.
“Dhanki means separation from loved ones,” SRK quotes from the film, emphasizing that this is the basic sentiment and essence of the film, while elaborating on the origin story of Dhanki. I have provided an image to explain it.
Throughout the chat, the trio also radiated absolute charm and playfulness, exchanging light-hearted banter and adding to the lively vibe. Sharing a photo of Taapsee standing on the sandy ground prepared for Gatta Gusti with a few Pehlwans in the background, flexing her biceps while Badshah sits on the ground, Shah Ruku asked about the story behind this image. Before she could answer, SRK playfully suggested, “I feel like if I’m doing action films these days, that means Taapsee also wants to do action films.” and caused the other two to laugh. However, Taapsee escalated the humor by commenting that the photo reflected her “joy at beating Shah Rukh Khan and realizing that there will be no more offers”.
“After doing five or six sports films, I was relieved that I would finally be doing a romantic film with SRK. And for Dhanki, the first thing I was asked to do was to learn Gusti. And I was told that the person I had to beat was SRK himself. I wondered what kind of romance this was,” Taapsee said.
Also starring Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar, the music for Dhanki has been composed by Pritam. The film will be Shah Rukh Khan’s third release this year after Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan and Atlee Kumar’s Jawan.
