Koffee With Karan 8: Vicky Kaushal Shares Shah Rukh Khan Said “Sorry” To Him During Dunki Shoot, Here’s Why?

Kiara Advani and Vicky Kaushal, who recently starred together in Govinda Naam Mera, appeared on the latest episode of Koffee with Karan. During their chat, Vicky opened up about his special appearance in the upcoming film Dunki, starring Shah Rukh Khan and directed by Rajkumar Hirani.

While Vicky has remained tight-lipped about his special appearance in Dunki, he opened up about it on the latest episode. Recalling a moment on set, Vicky said, “In one of the shoot days, he had to rush to Delhi for a very important work and it couldn’t have happened at another time and another date. It was a very critical moment for my character in the film and it was with him. He just couldn’t be there for that shot and I had to give that shot with a body double. He got done with his work in Delhi and then he called me late in the night which I missed because there was an event.”

He continued, “He then sent me a long message saying, ‘Vicky, woh shot hum dobaara karenge. I’m really sorry that I couldn’t be there to give the cues.’ I had to call him and convince him that it went okay and Raju sir is happy with the shot. I was also nervous if I could pull off that shot again. But he insisted we do it because he was feeling terrible about not being able to give his shoulder in the shot. The next day he came on set and saw those shots and only after he was happy with them did he decide that we don’t need to reshoot them.”

This left Vicky mesmerized. “When I meet him, I realise how little I’m doing at this age. He just gives his hundred percent. If he’s talking to you, hundred percent of his being is talking to you. He’s just something else,” he said.

Vicky also revealed that he had to shoot a crucial scene with a body double due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict with Shah Rukh Khan. Despite this minor setback, Vicky said that he had an incredible time working on Dunki and learned a great deal from the experience.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Dunki, which is scheduled to hit theaters in December 2023. The film also stars Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani, and promises to be a heartwarming and entertaining story about friendship and family.
