Taapsee Pannu is all set to share screen space with Shah Rukh Khan for the first time in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. Since the film's announcement, the actor has been gushing about the superstar and their first time working together. Both actors shot for Dunki in London a few months ago, and the leaked photos made it to the Internet.

Now, during an interaction with India Today, Taapsee was quizzed about whether she will be romancing Shah Rukh in Dunki. The actor replied cheekily by saying, "In a Rajkumar Hirani film, if you get to romance Shah Rukh Khan, I will do a passing role in that... as well. What else do you want in life?"

Taapsee also called Dunki a "light-hearted" film and further said, "It is a Raju Sir film; it is that world, which is very endearing. I would be very surprised if anyone was not having fun on that set."

Earlier, during his appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival 2022, Shah Rukh dished a few details about Dunki. The superstar had said that Raju Hirani, one of the most talented directors in India, directed the movie. He added that the film was penned by Abhijat Joshi and that it tells the tales of people who, when they finally hear the calling, long to go back home.

Shah Rukh called it a comedy film, and Hirani's movies consistently feature a blend of humour and strong national sentiment. So, it is a long journey for SRK, and the movie goes to many different places before coming back to India.

This is the first time Shah Rukh will be directed by Hirani on the big screen, and both of them announced the film earlier this year with a quirky video. Dunki is slated to release during the Christmas weekend of 2023.

Meanwhile, Taapsee's recent release, Blurr is her first outing as a producer. The film, directed by Ajay Bahl, is currently streaming on ZEE5.
