Rajkumar Hirani: Wanted to cast Shahrukh Khan in his first film

On Shahrukh Khan’s 58th birthday, the actor treated his fans with a double treat. He first showed her a glimpse of himself outside his Mumbai home Mannat and then met her in a special meeting. The Badshah of Bollywood also released the teaser of his upcoming comedy film Dunky directed by Rajkumar Hirani. During the event, the filmmaker revealed that he wanted to cast Shahrukh in his first film after graduating from a film institute. Shah Rukh Khan’s special birthday event was attended by the team of Dinky, who interacted with a theater packed with enthusiastic Shah Rukh fans. During the conversation he made some interesting revelations. Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani said that when he was studying at a film institute, he thought of casting Shah Rukh in his first film, which he would make after graduation. He said, “I used to study in a film institute and I used to wonder, ‘I am graduating from here, but who will work with me?’ I used to look at big stars like Bachchan saab and think, ‘Why would I? ?’ Do stars like him work with me?” In a video that surfaced online, Hirani can be seen saying that the idea came to him after watching Shah Rukh’s TV series Circus. He said, “So, one day, in the TV room of my hostel, I was watching Circus. In one particular scene, a young actor was performing on a stage. It was a great monologue. I thought, ‘Who is this guy?’ This is very amazing. He is not a big actor. I can cast him in my film after I graduate.”
