With the release date of PK nearing, director Rajkumar Hirani’s excitement is palpable. Not just because the film is releasing, but also for what he has planned right after PK hits theatres! The director has planned to take a holiday with his family and explore the country. A source close to the director confirmed it saying, “Raju has been working really hard for PK. He was busy editing the film and he finally gifted himself the final print of the film on his birthday. Now that PK is releasing this week, he is planning to take off to different corners of India to meet new people and explore their lifestyle. He is definitely looking forward to travelling across the country—something he has not done before.”

However, the India tour has been planned with some bigger things in mind. “He wants to see what more India has to offer him. He is planning to take some inputs from the locals living in different places and combine it all together to make another beautiful film. It is just in the nascent stage and Raju as always wants
to make sure his research is perfect,” adds the source.

When contacted, Hirani said, “I am looking forward to taking a break after PK to discover India and meet new people”
