The dream trio is here! Bollywood's King Khan Shah Rukh Khan, seasoned actor Taapsee Pannu and celebrated filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani on Tuesday announced their first feature film collaboration Dunki, set to release in theatres on December 22, 2023.

Khan took to Twitter to share the title and the release date of the film with a video, two years after reports of him collaborating with the Munna Bhai MBBS director emerged online. Calling Hirani his Santa Claus, the superstar said he is humbled and excited to work with the filmmaker on his next year's Christmas weekend release.

"Dear Rajkumar Hirani sir, aap toh mere Santa Claus nikle. Aap shuru karo main time pe pahunch jaunga. actually, main toh set par hi rehne lagunga. (you turned out to be my Santa Claus. You begin the work, I will reach on time or actually start living on the set itself). Feeling humbled and excited to finally work with you. Bringing to you all Dunki in cinemas on 22nd December 2023," the post read.

Post the announcement, Taapsee took to Twitter to express her thoughts. She wrote, "Yes it’s hard to make it till here, and it’s harder when you are all by yourself but then a superstar once said ‘agar kisi cheez ko shiddat se chaho to puri kayanat tumhe usse milane me lag jati hai (if you wish for something with all your heart, the entire universe conspires to get it for you)’ cheers to honesty, hard work and perseverance. Almost 10 saal lage (it took 10 years) but finally ‘All is Well’."
