Shah Rukh Khan On Boman Irani’s Dunki Character: He Had To Deliberately Speak Poorly In English Which Was So Difficult For Him To Do

Dunki is the next big Bollywood release and it features Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in major roles. The film's promotional phase intensifies ahead of the Dec 22 theatrical release and recently, the makers released a new video featuring SRK, Taapsee, and director Rajkumar Hirani engaging in discussions about various aspects of Dunki. In the session, the Pathaan actor shared insights about Boman's character in the film, expressing the challenges he faced while portraying the role.

The 58-year-old shared his admiration for Boman Irani's portrayal of an English coach in Dunki, expressing how impressed he was to witness the actor's command over the language in the movie. He remarked, "It's ironic. In the film, he plays our English teacher, yet he deliberately has to speak poorly in English (indicating a lack of fluency). The irony is, apart from screenwriter Abhijat Joshi, he is the most skilled in English among us. His proficiency in English is not limited. I believe it was quite challenging for him to perform this character." ALSO READ: Dunki First Review: This Shah Rukh Khan-Rajkumar Hirani Film Is A ‘Never Seen Before Masterpiece’ In Indian Cinema

Interestingly, the veteran actor made his debut in Rajkumar Hirani's directorial debut, Munna Bhai MBBS. Since then, he has been a constant presence in all of Hirani's subsequent films, including Lage Raho Munna Bhai, 3 Idiots, PK, and now, the upcoming movie Dunki. With the advance bookings opening on Saturday evening, Dunki has swiftly sold around 45,000 tickets across the top three national chains. The film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on December 21. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani in major roles.
