Another fan shared his thoughts and said, “#AskSrk sorry sir but I am more excited for dunki. Not because of you but because of Rajkumar hirani.” 

To which the superstar replied, “And that’s the right reason. I am also excited to be in a Raju film. Films are a directors medium….hero toh aate jaate rehte hain! #Dunki”
