Is Dunki a risk for Shah Rukh Khan after action blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan? Trade expert reveals [Exclusive]

After blockbusters like Jawan and Pathaan, is Shah Rukh Khan taking a risk with Dunki? Trade expert gets exclusively candid with BL and mentions how Dunki will be the biggest game changer for the superstar.

Dunki is the most-awaited film by Shah Rukh Khan, as it is the first time he will be working with Rajkumar Hirani. But after mega blockbusters like Jawan and Pathaan, there is a lot of conversation around whether this film will be a risk for the superstar, as he will not be seen in an action avatar but as a chocolate boy hero. After the debacle of Zero, SRK took a sabbatical for 4 years, made a comeback with Pathaan and later Jawan, and proved himself as the most profitable superstar in 2023.

Will Shah Rukh Khan continue to have a success streak like Jawan and Pathaan?

BL spoke exclusively to trade expert Akshaye Rathi and asked if it was a big risk for the superstar. Trade expert Akshaye mentioned, "I don't feel there is any risk taking. It's Raju Hirani, and not going by the stereotypical image of Shah Rukh Khan, he has proved to be the most successful actor. And it's not risk-taking at all. In fact, it's the safety net, because what better Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan? It's a deadly combo." And we totally agree with Akshaye Rathi.
