Taapsee Pannu reveals she was ‘relaxing’ during Dunki because of Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani; find out why

As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for understanding the intricacies of the Bollywood industry, I find Taapsee Pannu’s approach to her roles truly commendable. Her ability to thrive in diverse roles, especially when she takes a backseat, is a testament to her versatility and adaptability as an actress.


Taapsee Pannu is known for her versatility in Bollywood, and she isn’t afraid to take on diverse roles. In a recent interview, she shared that she tends to choose films where she has substantial parts alongside well-known actors, using Dunki as an example, where both Shah Rukh Khan and director Rajkumar Hirani felt the weight of anticipation before the movie’s premiere, unsure of its reception.

Taapsee Pannu recently chatted with Sahitya Aaj Tak. She discussed her role in the upcoming 2023 movie Dunki, which features Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Grover, Vicky Kaushal, and herself. During the conversation, she revealed that she actually enjoys being a part of films where she’s not the main character, contrary to what she initially thought about herself.

She mentioned that occasionally she prefers to step into a supporting position when she’s confident she can perform her duties effectively without it being a trivial part, and yet, she doesn’t feel the burden of having to be the main star.

The actress from Khel Khel Mein reminisced that during the launch of Dunki, she felt comfortable since director Rajkumar Hirani and lead actor Shah Rukh Khan alleviated the tension by taking charge. This allowed her to unwind as they handled the stress and organized things beforehand. Conversely, she experiences more pressure when she takes the lead in managing aspects prior to release.

Additionally, she found it rewarding to collaborate with King Khan, and shared that he carries an aura of stardom even beyond the camera and is knowledgeable as an individual. The film Dunki, a comedy-drama launched on December 21, 2023, revolved around the clandestine method of immigration called ‘donkey flight,’ exploring themes such as love, heartache, camaraderie, and more. It amassed an impressive box office total of 425 crores worldwide.

In terms of her professional life, Taapsee Pannu recently appeared in Khel Khel Mein alongside Akshay Kumar, Fardeen Khan, herself, Vaani Kapoor, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal, and Pragya Jaiswal. Unfortunately, the movie didn’t fare well at the box office, earning approximately Rs 57 crore in theaters. Upcoming projects for Taapsee include Woh Ladki Hai Kahaan, where she will act alongside Pratik Gandhi and Prateik Babbar.
