Shah Rukh Khan has collaborated with Rajkumar Hirani for Dunki. It is their first film together. It is a well-known fact that the director had dreamt of working with the actor. On Thursday, Shah Rukh celebrated his birthday with his fans at an event in Mumbai. During the special event, the superstar revealed the reason behind not being able to work with Rajkumar on projects like Munnabhai MBBS and 3 Idiots.

Shah Rukh shared, "When Raju was narrating Munna Bhai to me, I thought, ‘naya director hai kar hi lega agar main bolunga 6-8 mahine baad karenge (He is a new director, he will agree if I will tell him that I will do it after 6-8 months). So, I told him I would do it after 9 months. But he went away. Then when he came for 3 Idiots, I again thought, how big he would have become. Then again he went away. That is when I decided ki ab chance nahi lena. So, when he narrated Dunki, I caught him in the Covid-19 bubble and told him not to go away this time."
