Rajkumar Hirani on doing Dunki with Shah Rukh Khan
Raju Hirani told News18 about working with SRK after so many years. He said, "I was enamored by his charm. I would put on an eye mask and earplugs when he was giving a shot. Once he finished, my assistant would tell me, 'Sir, shot khatam ho gaya hai,' and then I would open my eyes (laughs). Jokes apart, he is an amazing actor and an even better person."
