It's a story of a Punjabi guy and his arduous journey of immigration to Canada", a source revealed to Peepingmoon.com. ## The term 'Donkey Flight' is based on a Punjabi idiom meaning to hop from place to place. It describes a common play that would-be immigrants would use, in which they apply for a tourist visa for a European Union Schengen country. ## The SRK-Hirani film is expected to go on floors around May 2022. Taapsee Pannu is said to be the frontrunner to play the leading lady, however, she hasn't been signed as yet. Hirani has always done with scripting and has already begun recce in Punjab.
