The announcement video starts with SRK glaring at a wall full of posters of Rajkumar Hirani films. Soon, Hirani walks up to him and SRK praises him for creating iconic characters like Sanjay Dutt’s Munna Bhai MBBS and Aamir Khan’s PK.
Following this SRK asks him if he has any script for him or not, to which Hirani replies, “Ek kahani hai” which includes lots of comedy and emotion. The actor then asks around romance. However, Hirani says, “Hai sir, but aap yeh wala action avoid kijiyega,” referring to SRK’s signature wide-arm pose. “Haath hi kaat lunga main, sir aap bolo toh (I will chop off my hands, you just tell me),” SRK adds at the end.

This 98 second film announcement is so damn funny and heartwarming. We can imagine what the film will be like.
Also, SRK fanboying over RKH is the kind of humility – and respect for filmmakers – wish movie stars showed more often. ♥️ #Dunki https://t.co/dHrgnNhRwY
