Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has given a shout out to former West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle for his killer dance moves to the Dunki song Lutt Putt Gaya, promising to do the hook step with the “universe boss” when they meet.
Reposting a video of Gayle grooving to the song on X, Shah Rukh wrote, “And the universe boss hits it out of the park… only like he can!!! Thank u my man @henrygayle… we will meet up and do the Lutt Putt Gaya dance together soon sometime ha ha."
Originally shared by a fan account of the actor, the video has gained traction on social media, with netizens reacting to and resharing the video of Gayle’s dance.
Shah Rukh is currently gearing up for the December 21 release of his film Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
In the inaugural season of Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2008, Shah Rukh’s team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had acquired Gayle. Following 16 matches across two seasons with KKR, Gayle was later purchased in the 2011 auction by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
Apart from the social media buzz, Shah Rukh has been on a spiritual journey, seeking blessings at various religious places ahead of the release of Dunki. Following his visit to the Vaishno Devi temple, the actor, accompanied by his daughter Suhana Khan, paid a visit to Shirdi's Sai Baba temple on Thursday.
Dunki features an ensemble cast including Taapsee Pannu, Boman Irani and Vicky Kaushal. The film's narrative revolves around the theme of illegal immigration.
