The director who has never tasted failure in his career spanning more than two decades is currently enjoying the success of yet another directorial, `Dunki.` Rajkumar Hirani, who made his directorial debut with Munna Bhai MBBS, wanted to cast Shah Ruh Khan for the lead role instead of Sanjay Dutt. Now, 20 years later, the two have finally collaborated. `Dunki` has been receiving good reviews from both critics and the audience.
Now talking about his wish to work with Shah Rukh Khan, Rajkumar Hirani revealed that he wanted to work with king khan since he was in a film school. Hiraning in conversation with News18 said, "I remember studying in a film school and the real struggle for any filmmaker was how we would make our first film. Will we get a producer? Will any actor come on board? So we had a common room where all the students would watch television together. I recall watching this series called Circus and I vividly remember the scene including the camera angle where one actor was performing and delivering a monologue,” he said, adding, “I didn’t know who he was but I loved his performance. I told myself once I passed out from school, I would approach him and make a film. It took me two years to graduate from the film institute and by that time, Shah Rukh Khan had become a huge star (laughs). So, I had to wait for 20 years to collaborate with him on a film.”
