Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan went on a spree of congratulating the artists and technicians involved in Jawan, his upcoming action-thriller. Jawan is directed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee, who has directed many hit films in Tamil. Atlee will be making his Hindi debut with Jawan. A ‘prevue’ video of Jawan was released recently, and Shah Rukh individually thanked Atlee, actors Vijay Sethupathi and Yogi Babu, music composer Anirudh, cinematographer GK Vishnu, editor Ruben and others associated with the film who had shared the teaser on social media. Along with Shah Rukh Khan, Jawan stars actors Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, and others, and Deepika Padukone too in a special appearance.
Impressed by the output of the teaser, Shah Rukh thanked Atlee and said that the teaser was “mass.” In response to this, Atlee said that it was a dream for him to work with Shah Rukh Khan. He thanked the actor for providing the opportunity to make Jawan, which will be releasing in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
“From reading tales of kings to embarking on a journey with one in real, #Chief I guess I’m living the dream I’ve always dreamt of. Thank you so much. This film pushed me to my limits, where I gained invaluable lessons along the way. Your passion towards cinema and the amount of hard work you’ve put in, which I witnessed closely in the last 3 years are inspiring and riveting…”
