Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Dunki is all set to release next month and it has been reported that the film was made at one of the least expensive movies of SRK in recent years.
Dunki is the first film where director Rajkmar Hirani and SRK are collaborating together, and as per a recent report, the film was made on a reported cost of Rs 85 crore. However, this cost of Rs 85 crore does not include the cost of talent including SRK, Hirani, Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, and others.
The movie was made on a budget of Rs 85 crore and described Hirani as a ‘cautious spender’. The report said that Shah Rukh and Hirani are profit participants in the movie and added that the cost of the film after adding the print and publicity costs was around Rs 120 crore.
Dunki was reportedly shot in 75 days, out of which Shah Rukh shot the film for 60 days. The report added that Dunki has already sold its ‘non-theatrical rights’ in ‘the range of Jawan’, which means the film is already “sitting on a massive table profit in the vicinity of Rs 100 crore.”
In comparison, Shah Rukh’s last film Jawan, which was also produced by his company Red Chillies Entertainment, was made on a budget of Rs 300 crore which was exceeded during the filming. At the film’s success meet, Atlee said that Shah Rukh greenlit a Rs 300 crore film but they ‘went more’.
Jawan, however, became the biggest hit of the year, and the second-biggest global Hindi grosser. The film collected Rs 1160 crore worldwide and made Rs 640.25 crore net in India. Dunki is set to release on December 22, 2023.
