Dunki, more about Salaar
A new trailer for Salaar: Part 1-Ceasefire was released on Monday. Prabhas shared it and said, “Enter the violent world of Khansaar.” The director is none other than KGF’s Prashant Neel. In the movie, Prabhas plays the lead role of Salaar. Other ensemble members include Jagapathi Babu, Shruti Haasan, and Prithviraj Sukumaran. Vijay Kiragandur is the film’s producer via Hombale Films.
However, on Monday, Shah Rukh Khan released a brand-new song called Banda from Dunki. Diljit Dosanjh performed it, and Shah Rukh sent a heartfelt message for him on Instagram. The song was first released in a special Dunki Diaries video, where Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu can be seen talking with director Rajkumar Hirani about the movie, its story, and the whole creative process. In the video, Shah Rukh laments to Rajkumar Hirani that he was unable to appear in the movie “In and As,” unlike Aamir Khan in PK or Sanjay Dutt in Munna Bhai MBBS, saying instead, “Ek chul reh gayi (a wish remains unfulfilled)”. In response, Hirani informs Shah Rukh that he wrote the song Banda just for him in Dunki.
