In one of the videos, two fans from Teams Hardy and Foreign engage in lighthearted wrestling outside the theater as other spectators applaud them. Shah Rukh shared it on his X handle and invited the fans to watch the movie inside the hall rather than going outside to watch the wrestling.
"Hey, a picture is better than nothing, but it's still not perfect. "Watch the film and let me know if you all liked it," the 58-year-old actor posted on the microblogging site.
During a Wednesday #AskSRK session on X, the Bollywood actor also shared his wife Gauri's and youngest son AbRam's reactions to Dunki. The Jawan actor wrote, "She said it's a film to be very proud of and loved the humor." in response to a question about Gauri's response. #Dunki.
After seeing the movie, though, Abram can't stop singing, "I want to go to the bathroom!" "Abram has seen it and he keeps singing 'I want to go to Lavatory!!! #Dunki,'" wrote Shah Rukh.
Dunki, which was directed by Hirani, centers on Shah Rukh's character Hardy and his gang of Punjabi-speaking friends who decide to move to London and stay there despite being denied visas several times.
