He followed it up with Atlee's crime thriller Jawan, which garnered 640 crore in India. Shah Rukh has now ended 2023 with Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki, which has opened at 30 crore domestically. He also had a cameo in Maneesh Sharma's spy thriller Tiger 3, where he shared the screen space with his Karan Arjun co-star Salman Khan.

The sequel collected 525 crore at the domestic box office. Not only Sunny, but his younger brother Bobby Deol also starred in one of the biggest hits of the year, Sandeep Reddy Vanga's family crime thriller Animal, which earned 531 crore.
