In a conversation with News 18, when the filmmaker was asked if given a chance to work with a Bollywood star, who would it be and without even taking a second she replied, “Shah Rukh Khan is kind of a legend, isn’t he? It’s kind of a no-brainer in that sense.” While the movie represents various communities from across the globe, the filmmaker said that she never felt the weight about it. “I inherited an amazing cast in the Khan family and Kamal Khan. And Park Seo Joon was an actor that I just thought was amazing and when this character (Prince Yan) came up, I was like he would be really good for this. I was just excited for the opportunity to put more people in the film from different backgrounds but I didn’t feel pressured around it,” said DaCosta. Also starring Zawe Ashton, Park Seo-joon, and Samuel L. Jackson, the film will release in English Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for the release of Dunki, which film also features Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani in prominent roles. It is set to hit the screens during the Christmas weekend.
