Taapsee
Pannu
and
Shah
Rukh
Khan
will
be
teaming
up
together
for
the
first
time
in
Rajkumar
Hirani's
Dunki.
In
her
recent
interaction
with
a
news
agency,
the
Thappad
actress
opened
up
on
the
same.
She
said
that
working
with
King
Khan
feels
like
a
personal
achievement
and
added
that
his
films
were
her
journey
to
Bollywood.
Taapsee
told
PTI,
"For
me,
introduction
to
films
happened
in
college.
I
haven't
seen
many
films
in
theatre
in
school
(days)
because
we
would
hardly
watch
films
in
my
house.
So,
a
lot
of
Shah
Rukh
Khan
films
became
my
first
few
films
that
I
have
seen."
She
told
the
news
agency
that
working
on
Dunki
with
two
of
her
favourites,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
and
Rajkumar
Hirani
is
like
a
dream
come
true
for
her.
She
said
that
she
feels
deeply
connected
with
the
superstar's
journey
as
they
both
hail
from
Delhi
and
started
from
scratch.
"When
you
end
up
getting
the
opportunity
to
work
with
him,
it
becomes
the
golden
opportunity.
And
combine
with
the
fact
that
it
is
going
to
be
directed
by
Rajkumar
Hirani,
whose
films
are
classics,
it
doesn't
get
better.
I
don't
know
how
will
I
even
ever
up
it," PTI
quoted
Taapsee
as
saying.
He
further
added,
"He
comes
from
Delhi,
same
place
like
me,
started
from
scratch.
I
don't
miss
the
opportunity
to
tell
him
every
time
that
he
is
someone
who
we
consider
very
personal.
Even
before
I
met
him,
his
journey
felt
too
personal
because
of
how
he
started
and
built
an
empire
for
himself."
Speaking
about
Dunki,
reports
suggest
that
the
Rajkumar
Hirani
directorial
revolves
around
the
rampant
use
of
an
illegal
backdoor
route
called
'Donkey
Flight' by
Indians
for
immigration
to
countries
like
Canada
and
USA.
Taapsee
had
previously
starred
in
Shah
Rukh
Khan-bankrolled
Badla
alongside
Amitabh
Bachchan.
The
actress
is
currently
awaiting
the
release
of
her
upcoming
film
Shabaash
Mithu.
