Mumbai, Dec 19 (IANS) Actress Taapsee Pannu, who is awaiting the release of her upcoming theatrical film ‘Dunki’, has opened up on her experience of working with Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan.


The actress shared what transpired after she came on-board for the film.


Upon signing the film, Taapsee was immediately informed that she would have to undergo extensive training in wrestling for her role in 'Dunki’.


The actress recently spoke with SRK and the director of ‘Dunki’, Rajkumar Hirani.


“The first thing I was told when I signed the film was that I will have to prepare for ‘Dunki’. They said your Punjabi and Hindi is great but you will also have to learn wrestling. So I said, I will finally become a heroine and romance Shah Rukh Khan after doing 5-6 sports movies,” Taapsee said.
