Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki
Shah Rukh Khan`s third release of the year `Dunki` is seeing a good run at the box office. The film directed by Rajkumar Hirani was released on Thursday, a non-holiday weekday. Despite that, the film managed to collect Rs 28 crore at the Indian box office and continues to be steady. In the film, Shah Rukh Khan`s character undergoes aging as the film traces his character`s 25-year journey. After the release of the film, the `Dunki` star Shah Rukh Khan spoke about the importance of age-appropriateness for his character of Hardy Singh. He also revaled interesting details about his character Vikram Rathore in Jawan.
As part of promotions for `Dunki`, Shah Ruh Khan answered media questions during an interview and spoke about playing age-appropriate roles and characters that age during the film. He was asked whether it was deliberate that he chose to play older characters in his recent films. Shah Rukh Khan said, “No, it’s not a conscious effort. I am 58 now. Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki mujhe age-centric roles karne chahiye. If I get an opportunity in a film (then why not). The older character in Jawan is more in-your-face. I won’t call it a caricature but it’s an over-the-top old person. In Dunki, it’s quite real. In Dunki, it’s about a soldier ka vaada. So, it’s a journey of a character and that is the most intriguing quality of the film. It spans 25 years.”
