DOP Amit Roy Quits Shah Rukh Khan Starrer Dunki Due To Creative Differences

Mumbai, July 13 - One of the most awaited upcoming films from the Hindi film industry "Dunki" starring Shah Rukh Khan has been in the news for various reasons. The announcement video of the film was well-received by the fans and neutrals alike.

Everything in this film was going very well until the director of photography (DOP) Amit Roy quit the film due to creative differences with director Raj Kumar Hirani.



In an interview with Etimes, when Amit was asked if he has quit Dunki, he replied, "Yes, I am not doing Dunki anymore. I shot for 18-19 days and quit. Raju Hirani and I had some creative differences. We both couldn't see from the same angle. But let me tell you that the parting was very amicable. We both sat down and then I quit. Honestly, I didn't want it to reach a stage of friction".

He added, "It happens sometimes. I had shot a song in Sanju for Hirani- the Baba Bolta Hai Bas Ho Gaya song. We had a great time then. I have also done a few ads for him. But you see, an ad is a collaborative effort wherein the client's vision also matters. But when it comes to a film, it is the director's vision. The shots I took will be retained".

Dunki is scheduled to release on the Christmas 2023 weekend. Backed by Jio Studios and Red Chillies Entertainment Dunki also stars Taapsee Pannu and Boman Irani. Shah Rukh Khan also has Pathaan and Jawaan in his pipeline.
