Watch Video: Ahead of 'Dunki' Release, Shah Rukh Khan Visits Vaishno Devi
Shah Rukh Khan recently visited the Mata Vaishno Devi in Katra, Jammu. A video of the actor at the shrine is going viral on social media.
Shah Rukh Khan has had a memorable 2023 so far. His two films -- 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan' turned out to be monumental successes at the global box office, and both movies minted more than Rs 1,000 crore worldwide. SRK would now hope for the trend to continue with his upcoming Hindi film 'Dunki', directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The movie which also stars Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani, marks the first collaboration between SRK and Rajkumar Hirani, who is known for helming projects like 'PK', '3 Idiots', and 'Munnabhai MBBS'.
In the latest entertainment news, SRK recently visited the Mata Vaishno Devi in Katra, Jammu. A video of the actor from the shrine is going viral on social media.
For the unversed, SRK had earlier visited Vaishno Devi before the release of 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan' as well. Hence, this is the third time that the actor is visiting the shrine this year.
In the video, shared by news agency PTI on X (formerly Twitter), Shah Rukh Khan is seen being escorted by his entourage and a few policemen. He is also accompanied by his manager Pooja Dadlani.
To avoid the attention of the public, the actor decided to go incognito. He was seen wearing a big black jacket and cap to keep his identity hidden.

Talking about 'Dunki', the movie also stars Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani and Vicky Kaushal. The film is based on 'donkey flight', an illegal immigration entry technique into countries like the US, UK and Canada.
'Dunki' has been written by Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, and Kanika Dhillon and it has been bankrolled by Rajkumar Hirani and Gauri Khan.
The movie will be releasing in cinemas on December 21, 2023, a day before Prabhas' 'Salaar' directed by Prashanth Neel.
Speaking of 'Salaar', the film directed by Prashanth Neel, also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran and Shruti Haasan.
Earlier, Prashanth Neel said that no filmmaker desires a clash, be it with a newcomer or a veteran like Rajkumar Hirani.
"Clash is not something you ideally want, be it with a newcomer or with the biggest star of Indian cinema. But it is a very unpleasant situation for anybody to move their date to somebody else's date. We also wouldn't want somebody to move to our date when we have announced it a year before. And we also did not want to do it. But that was a logistical decision that was taken only by the production," Prashanth Neel told Times of India.
"And usually we (me and my team) don't get into the aspects of what the production is going to decide as a release date, because they do not interfere in my process of filmmaking. So I do not interfere in their process of marketing or the release dates, the business aspect," he added.
