Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Bollywood's
hitmaker,
has
proven
himself
as
a
versatile
actor
and
one
who
is
bankable.
The
actor
has
given
several
blockbusters
to
the
Hindi
film
industry
and
carved
a
niche
for
himself.
On
Thursday,
December
1,
SRK
attended
the
Red
Sea
Film
Festival,
which
is
happening
in
Saudi
Arabia,
where
he
spoke
about
his
upcoming
movies
Dunki,
Pathan,
and
Jawan.
He
also
shared
his
experience
of
shooting
in
Saudi
Arabia.
During
the
ongoing
film
festival
in
Jeddah,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
spoke
exclusively
to
The
Deadline
about
how
he
felt
about
working
on
the
sets
of
Dunki.
"In
English,
my
film
would
be
called
Donkey.
But
the
way,
a
part
of
India
pronounces
the
word,
it
is
'Dunki'.
The
Punjabis
say
it
as
Dunki.
How
much
should
I
tell
you
about
the
film
...mmm...It
is
a
film
directed
by
one
of
the
most
brilliant
filmmakers
we
have
in
our
country,
Mr
Raju
Hirani," he
said.
He
then
added,
"It
is
written
by
a
fantastic
writer,
Abhijat
Joshi.
It
is
a
story
of
people
who
want
to
come
back
home
when
you
finally
get
the
calling."
SRK,
who
just
wrapped
Dunki,
describes
the
Rajkumar
Hirani-directed
comedy
as
"a
story
of
people
who
want
to
come
back
home
when
you
finally
get
the
calling." He
said,
"It
is
a
comic
film.
His
(Mr
Hirani)
films
are
always
a
mix
of
comedy
and
a
lot
of
emotions
about
the
country.
So,
it
is
a
big
journey
for
me
and
the
film
goes
through
different
areas
around
the
world
and
finally
comes
back
home
to
India."
The
actor
then
opened
up
about
Yash
Raj's
action
film,
Pathaan,
and
said,
"I
have
never
done
an
action
film.
I
have
done
some
really
sweet
love
stories,
some
social
dramas,
and
some
bad
guys
but
nobody
was
taking
me
for
action.
I
am
57
years
old
so
I
thought,
for
the
next
10
years
I'm
going
to
do
action
films."
Further,
Shah
Rukh
went
on
to
share
his
experience
of
shooting
in
Saudi
Arabia
and
added
that
he
was
exhilarated
to
see
the
local
industry's
desire
to
grow.
He
then
praised
the
country's
beautiful
locations
and
thanked
the
country
for
its
hospitality.
Pathaan
will
be
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
first
movie
after
a
hiatus
of
four
years.
His
last
screen
appearance
was
in
2018's
Zero,
opposite
Anushka
Sharma
and
Katrina
Kaif.
Next
year
is
packed
for
the
stars
as
Pathan
is
scheduled

January
25,
2023,
while
Dunki
will
