The film's cast also includes Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani, and Vicky Kaushal in key roles. Dunki was produced for Rs130 crore and has already entered the top-grossers' club of Bollywood in 2023.

With Dunki's success, SRK has made a hat trick in 2023. With 'Pathaan', 'Jawan', and now 'Dunki', the superstar has ruled the box office for the entire year. 'Pathaan' grossed ₹1,050.30 crore., whereas Jawan grossed ₹1,148.32 crore.
