Directed by Rajkumar Hirani, ‘Dunki’ features an ensemble star cast, including Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani and Satish Shah among others, in key roles.
The word Dunki applies to those who wish to enter a country on illegal grounds.
The film is expected to open with huge numbers at the box office, just like ‘Jawan’ and ‘Pathaan’.
