Shah Rukh Khan treated his followers to an early morning surprise by releasing the video for the heartwarming song 'Chal Ve Watna' from his latest film 'Dunki'. The track, featured in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial Dunki, adds another layer of emotion to the film's narrative and has quickly become a musical sensation.

Shah Rukh Khan took to the microblogging site X to share his sentiments about the song, expressing gratitude to the talented trio behind its creation – Pritam, Javed Ali, and Varun Grover. The Bollywood icon wrote, “Apni mitti, apna desh kaisa bhi ho, apne liye ghar jaisa hota hai. Jab bhi koi isey chhodkar jaata hoga. Uska dil isi tarah ka koi geet gaata hoga. Chal ve watna... phir milange. Baithke lambi... baat karange."

Co-written by Abhijat Joshi and Kanika Dhillon, the film is a collaborative effort of Red Chillies Entertainment, Jio Studios, and Rajkumar Hirani Films. Alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu, the film features a special appearance by Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani.
