The influence of Rajkumar Hirani's film, Dunki, is evident globally. After a successful run in different countries, including India, the Shah Rukh Khan starrer is set to have a special screening for the consulates of European countries.


According to a source, "The consulates of the European countries are very keen to watch Dunki at the special screening as it talks about the illegal immigrants who take the donkey route to go abroad. The consulates are also eager to have a conversation with director Rajkumar Hirani post the screening." It is indeed an indelible impact that the Dunki story has on people around the world.


Furthermore, an earlier special screening of Dunki was held for consulates of various nations, considering their involvement in the visa and application processes. The film provides them with insights into the realities they typically deal with.


In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, when asked if the storyline of ‘Munnabhai Chale America’ was similar to Shah Rukh Khan's ‘Dunki’, as both involved characters aspiring to go to America, Rajkumar Hirani responded by saying, “No, that was a completely different story. That story was basically in a nutshell about George Bush, who at that time had made some anti-Muslim statements. The whole story was these guys got very upset with it, and they said ‘hum jaate hain George Bush ko pakad ke India le kar aate hain (We’ll go to America and bring George Bush to India)’ so it was a story like that.”

Dunki features an ensemble cast with colorful characters portrayed by exceptionally talented actors Boman Irani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Vikram Kochhar, and Anil Grover, along with Shah Rukh Khan. A JIO Studios, Red Chillies Entertainment, and Rajkumar Hirani Films presentation, produced by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan, written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon. Dunki is now released on the big screen.

‘Dunki’ focuses on the issue of immigration, with its title taken from the term "donkey journey," referring to the long, often dangerous routes people take worldwide to reach the places they want to immigrate to. With Dunki's success, SRK has three back-to-back hits in his kitty.
