In a recent discussion, Shah Rukh Khan candidly expressed his willingness to take “age-centric roles” and also talked about how he is “age-honest” in Dunki. He said,“ I am 58 now, aur mujhe aise lagta hai ki mujhe age-centric roles karne chahiye [And I feel that I should take age-centric roles.] And if I get an opportunity in a film, of course, 100 percent. Jab hum… Jawan zada commercial [Jawan was too commercial]… in your face kind of character hai, I won’t call it caricature, but it is an over-the-top old person. But in this film, yeh bahut real hai [It’s very real.] Dunki mein bahut real hai. [It is very real in Dunki.]”
“I would say I have been age-honest for the first time in Dunki. It’s more close to my age,” Shah Rukh Khan added. Dunki was backed by Red Chillies Entertainment, JIO Studios and Rajkumar Hirani Films.
