SRK once rejected Farah’s film with 'Dunki' plot

Farah Khan revealed that Shah Rukh Khan had previously declined a script similar to 'Dunki,' citing age concerns. The original 'Happy New Year' concept involved four boys aiming to migrate to America through a dance competition. Khan found the thematic overlap with 'Dunki's' illegal immigration storyline a strange coincidence, leading 'Happy New Year' to evolve into a heist film.
