On Shah Rukh Khan’s 58th birthday on Thursday, the teaser for his third film of the year after the blockbusters Pathaan and Jawan, Dunki, was unveiled.

Dunki also features Taapsee Pannu in the lead role alongside Shah Rukh. Vicky Kaushal also features in the film.

The teaser begins with a group of men and women dressed in black, crossing a desert while a sharp shooter has a mark on their backs.
