While talking about the same, he said, "I made 'Jawan' fir maine socha maine ladke ladkiyu ke liye bana di apane liye kuch nahy banayi fir maine 'Dunki' bana di. Ye meri vaali film hai jo mere dil ke bahut kareeb hai. This year started with 'Pathaan' for me, which was always for the girls, and I want to end the year with a film for me (“After being a part of Pathan and Jawan, I realised that I have not made a film for myself. So, I made Dunki. This is my film. This film is close to my heart. I did a film Pathaan for the girls and I wanted to end the year with a film for me. So, I did Dunki."

He further added, 'I don't know. Raju Hirsaab ne bhi kabhi aesi film nahi banai (Rajkumar Hirani hasn't made a film like this.) When we finished the film and saw it for the first time, humko aesa laga Raju Hirani saab ne love story bana di hai which spans ages. (When we saw the film, we thought Hirani had made a love story that spans ages)."
