Dunki Body-double scene
Reminiscing Dunki’s film shoot, Vicky Kaushal revealed that there was a short scene where he had to share the screen with Jawan actor but due to some last-minute urgent work, the latter had to abruptly leave for Delhi and thus the scene was done with the help of a body double.
