In his recent interview with India Today, the hitmaker opened up about working with Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki, and made some interesting revelations. According to Rajkumar Hirani, he had no idea how hardworking SRK is, when it comes to preparing for his roles. "Working with him has been such a joy that it’s hard to describe. He brings positive energy to the set and always makes everybody happy around him. I had no idea he prepares so much; I thought of him as an impromptu actor.

Sometimes I have kept two days for a shoot and he finishes it in two hours. He’s a complete charmer and has great control over the language. He surprised me completely by coming at 7 am to shoot," revealed the senior filmmaker.
