Did Salman Khan recommend Bigg Boss 16 fame Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's name for Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Dunki'? Here's what we know...

Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, who is currently a part of Bigg Boss 16, has reportedly been approached for Rajkumar Hirani's 'Dunki' with Shah Rukh Khan. Reports are also rife that it is Salman Khan who has recommended her name.

Rajkummar Hirani was reportedly looking for a girl who had a Punjab background. Salman, who is quite fond of the TV actress, suggested her name to his production house and they even got in touch with the actress team for the same. Salman had even hinted on the show to Priyanka that he has something for her, a report in BollywoodLife stated.

The report further added that the role is not very long but will leave an impact on you. The story film is about the illegal immigration of Punjabis in countries like Canada and the USA. Dunki is termed as Donkey Flight. Priyanka is reportedly apt for the role because she has a strong dialect in Punjabi as she belongs to Chandigarh and hence that makes her fit for it and her acting skills have been witnessed by the fans.

Priyanka is reportedly one of the most popular and strong contestants on the show right now. The actress also has a huge fan base on social media.

Rajkumar Hirani's 'Dunki' stars Shah Rukh Khan and Taapsee Pannu in lead roles. This is the first time the trio will be collaborating for a film.
