Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani joined hands for Dunki last year. The film received a positive response from the audience. After the film’s release, rumors have been rife that the two are all set to join hands again for a new film with Samantha Ruth Prabhu in it. However, a source close to the filmmaker has quashed all the speculations surrounding the project.

Truth behind rumors suggesting Shah Rukh Khan, Rajkumar Hirani, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu collab

Rajkumar Hirani and Shah Rukh Khan collaborated for the first time for a film titled, Dunki. It was released in December 2023. The comedy drama film talked about a significant subject of Donkey flights, a illegal and risky route that people take to go abroad. Post receiving love from the audience, it was recently reported that the actor-director duo is all set to reunite for another project. It was also said that the film will star Samantha Ruth Prabhu. But according to the latest development, the reports are not true.

Denying the rumors, the source further revealed that Hirani is currently busy writing his next film. Moreover, there have been no discussions with SRK or Samantha regarding any project. The source laughs off the idea of SRK and Samantha collaborating for an untitled action-adventure patriotic movie as “completely baseless and untrue”.

It is worth mentioning that after Dunki’s release, Rajkumar Hirani in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla had addressed the possibility of a future reunion with Shah Rukh Khan for another project.

The filmmaker, expressing his delight over his work experience with the actor, stated, “I would love to. I had such joy working with him, itna maza aya (we had so much fun). When you have happiness working with somebody, you definitely want to work again with that person. But abhi toh scripts hi chal rahi hain (But currently I am working on scripts).”
