Shah Rukh Khan, the King of Bollywood, has once again enthralled his fans with his latest release, “Jawan,” alongside powerhouse performers Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, directed by the acclaimed Atlee. The film hit theaters worldwide yesterday, and the buzz around it is palpable. Fans are showering praise on “Jawan,” with Shah Rukh Khan’s dual role as Vikram Rathore and Azad stealing the spotlight. As the movie makes waves, discussions are bound to revolve around the records it will set and break. However, there’s one thing Shah Rukh Khan doesn’t want to hear about his new movie, and he has a compelling reason.
A Box Office Aversion
In a candid interview from the past, Shah Rukh Khan revealed a surprising aspect of his stance on his movies. He made it clear that he doesn’t want to hear about a topic that dominates discussions in the movie business – box office collections. In the video, Khan humorously implores people not to inundate him with collections data, explaining that he is intimately aware of the numbers. With his characteristic wit, he mentions his role not only as an actor but also as a producer and distributor of films. “What the films are doing on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, inflated, deflated, I know,” he quipped. Shah Rukh Khan even admitted his aversion to seeing the financial figures displayed in his office, urging those responsible for sending him collection updates to ask him instead, as they often have the wrong figures. Hence, it’s crystal clear that SRK prefers not to hear about “Jawan’s” box office collections, whether on weekends or weekdays.
A Heartfelt Thanks to the Fans
The release of “Jawan” saw an overwhelming response from SRK’s dedicated fan base, SRKians. They thronged theaters across the nation for the first Day First Show celebrations, creating a mass frenzy. From Mumbai to Bengaluru, Kolkata to Nandyal, it’s clear that the next four days will be nothing short of a festival for these ardent fans. Touched by the outpouring of love and support for him and “Jawan,” Shah Rukh Khan took to social media to express his gratitude. He penned a heartfelt thank-you note, commending the efforts of all the fan clubs and individuals who came out to watch the movie in theaters. He conveyed his overwhelming feelings, saying, “Love you for loving Jawan,” in a heartfelt Twitter post.
A Star-Studded Cast
“Jawan” boasts an ensemble cast featuring some of the industry’s finest talents. In addition to Shah Rukh Khan, the film stars the versatile Nayanthara, the talented Sanya Malhotra, the charismatic Vijay Sethupathi, and the charming Ridhi Dogra, among others. Notably, the movie also features intriguing cameos by Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt, adding extra allure to the film’s star-studded lineup.
“Jawan” has already made waves in the entertainment world, and Shah Rukh Khan’s fans couldn’t be happier. While the film is poised to create and break records, Khan’s aversion to hearing about its box office collections highlights his focus on the art of filmmaking rather than the financial aspects. As fans continue to shower love on “Jawan,” it’s evident that Shah Rukh Khan’s legacy as the King of Bollywood remains unshaken.
