Shah Rukh Khan Starrer Dunki To Release On December 21 In International Markets; Report

Shah Rukh Khan has been getting an overwhelming response for his recently released film Jawan. The action thriller, directed by Atlee, is currently ruling the box office. Well, amid this the superstar is gearing up for his next release titled Dunki. The film has already been in the news ever since it was announced. Now a fresh report from Pinkvilla has claimed that makers are planning to release the film a day before in the international markets. In India, it will be released on December 22.

Pinkvilla report quotes a source saying, “Dunki is expected to be a global phenomenon and all the stakeholders are keen to position it as a global offering from Indian Cinema. While Jawan’s campaign focused on the southern market, with Dunki, Red Chillies Entertainment will be going global with their appeal and messaging. Big plans are in place and the plans are locked to bring the film in the international markets on December 21, reaping the benefit of the extended holiday period.”

“Dunki team is going ahead with a full-day release on December 21 and not just late-night premiere shows. The idea is to maximize on word of mouth and get the audience excited for the conventional weekend from Friday to Sunday. SRK (Shah Rukh Khan) is the biggest Indian name in the international belts and with the support of global holidays, Dunki will do unimaginable numbers in the four-day weekend period before getting into Christmas holiday,” the source further adds.

Amid this, Shah Rukh Khan and Prabhas are preparing for an epic clash this Christmas. If reports are to be believed, SRK’s Dunki and Prabhas’ Salaar are releasing this Christmas. If this is true, this will be the second time that director Prashanth Neel will be clashing with Shah Rukh. The first time was in 2018 when KGF clashed with Zero. The news of Dunki and Salaar clashing was shared by trade expert Taran Adarsh.

Dunki marks Shah Rukh’s third release this year. The film is directed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Taapsee Pannu. On the other hand, Salaar is directed by Prashanth Neel and is headlined by Prabhas. The film, which marks their first collaboration, also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan, and Meenakshi Chaudhary. The film is produced by Hombale Films, the team behind KGF and Kantara.
