Shah Rukh Khan on 'Dunki' co-star Vicky Kaushal: "He is one of the finest actors I have worked with"

In the realm of Bollywood camaraderie, the spotlight turns to Shah Rukh Khan as he showers praise on his co-star Vicky Kaushal, heralding him as "one of the finest actors" he has had the privilege to work with. This accolade comes ahead of the much-anticipated release of their collaborative venture, 'Dunki,' directed by the maestro Rajkumar Hirani, slated to grace theaters on December 21.

As the Bollywood fraternity awaits the cinematic spectacle of 'Dunki,' Shah Rukh Khan seized a promotional event in Dubai to express his admiration for Vicky Kaushal's stellar performance in the movie. Khan's sentiments transcended the customary promotional banter, delving into a genuine appreciation for Kaushal's craft. The film, being the first collaboration between Khan and the acclaimed director Hirani, heightens the anticipation surrounding its release.

During the event Khan unveiled the depth of his admiration for Vicky Kaushal, stating that audiences would undoubtedly feel a profound sense of affection for the talented actor once they witness his on-screen brilliance in 'Dunki.' The camaraderie extended beyond mere compliments, as Shah Rukh Khan revealed that he gleaned valuable insights from Kaushal during the filming process, emphasizing the mutual respect shared between the two stellar performers.

In Shah Rukh Khan's own words, "Vicky is a great friend. I personally feel he is one of the finest actors I have worked with. When you watch him in Dunki, you will feel a lot of love for him. He has done really, really well, and I got to learn from him, actually."

This commendation echoes a poignant moment shared by Vicky Kaushal during an episode of 'Koffee with Karan 8,' where he recounted an incident when SRK expressed remorse for an unavoidable absence during a crucial scene shoot. Shah Rukh Khan, having to depart for Delhi, regretted missing an essential shooting day, resulting in the usage of a body double for the scene. A contrite Khan later apologized to Vicky for the unforeseen circumstance.

Directed by the masterful Rajkumar Hirani, 'Dunki' boasts a star-studded cast featuring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead role, supported by Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Vikram Kochhar, Anil Grover, and Jyoti Subash. The film, poised for release on December 21, is set to clash with the eagerly awaited 'Salaar: Part One - Ceasefire,' promising an enthralling cinematic face-off at the box office.
