This peculiar sight amazed Rajkumar Hirani, sparking the genesis of Dunki.
Elaborating on the origin, Rajkumar Hirani explained, “In Jalandhar, there’s a tradition where people construct such aeroplanes atop their houses when a family member goes abroad. While these structures often house water tanks, some houses even have bedrooms beneath them.” Shah Rukh Khan also shared pictures of a gurdwara, commonly known as the visa gurdwara. Describing its significance, Rajkumar Hirani said, “People visit to submit their passports here. It’s referred to as a visa gurdwara. Toy aeroplanes are sold outside such gurdwaras.” Interestingly, in the film, Taapsee Pannu’s character Manu Randhawa draws inspiration from the real-life persona of a visa engineer.
