Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited Dunki, which is actor's third release of 2023 is set to hit the big screens on Christmas. Unlike SRK's previous two releases of the year, which were made on huge budget due to its visual effects, Dunki is relatively made at a lower cost.
As per a report by Pinkvilla, the Rajkumar Hirani directorial is made on a budget of Rs 85 crore. However, it doesn't include the fees taken by the talent part of the film including Shah Rukh Khan, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and Rajkumar Hirani. The report also states that SRK and the director also have a share in the profits and are also the producers. The budget of Dunki including the print and publicity is around Rs 120 crore.
This makes Dunki Shah Rukh's lowest-budget film in the last six years and if adjusted for inflation, it is his lowest-budgeted flick since Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.
If reports are to be believed Dunki is made in just 75 days, out of which SRK shot only for 60 days. Shah Rukh used to switch between the sets of Jawan and Dunki.
