Furthermore, glimpses of Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in their respective roles can be spotted in the captivating 'Jawan' trailer. Khan delivers a powerful line in the preview, saying, "Main jab villain banta hu toh mere samne koi bhi hero tikk nahi paata" (No hero can stand in front of me when I become a villain).
After the release of the 'Jawan' trailer, fans and moviegoers flocked to Twitter to express their excitement. One fan tweeted, "Jawan preview is the best teaser I have ever watched. There are no words to describe it! The stunts, dialogues, background music - it is pure class and mass." Another dedicated follower of Shah Rukh Khan exclaimed, "Anything like the 'Jawan' trailer released today has never happened before and never been made before in Bollywood."
The film, directed by Atlee, marks his Bollywood debut and marks the first collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and the talented director. Atlee is renowned for his successful partnerships with Tamil actor Vijay Thalapathy and has delivered blockbuster hits such as 'Theri', 'Marsal', and 'Bigil'. With a colossal budget of Rs. 220 crores, 'Jawan' promises to deliver an immersive cinematic experience, featuring exotic locations and cutting-edge visual effects.
Actress Nayanthara, known for her exceptional performances, takes on the leading lady role in this action-packed thriller. 'Jawan' also serves as Nayanthara's highly anticipated Bollywood debut, generating substantial excitement among netizens. On the antagonist front, the immensely talented Vijay Sethupathi steps in to face off against Shah Rukh Khan's character, igniting anticipation for their intense on-screen clash.
In addition to the star-studded trio, the film boasts an impressive supporting cast, including actress Sanya Malhotra, television personality Riddhi Dogra, and comedian Sunil Grover. The inclusion of Deepika Padukone in an action-packed cameo further enhances the dynamic ensemble. Rumors suggest that Tamil superstar Vijay Thalapathy and Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt will also make special appearances, adding an extra layer of intrigue.
The film's gripping synopsis unveils a tale of personal vendetta and redemption, as a man driven by a promise made years ago fights to rectify the injustices plaguing society. Confronting a fearsome outlaw, the protagonist seeks to bring an end to the suffering inflicted upon many.
Speculations indicate that Shah Rukh Khan will portray a double role in the film, embodying both a valiant fighter (father) and a resolute jailer (son). Khan is set to showcase over six distinct looks, further enhancing the film's appeal.
Shah Rukh Khan's remarkable talent and popularity are reflected in his substantial paycheck. For his previous film, 'Pathaan', the actor charged a staggering Rs. 100 crore. Considering the film's immense success, it is expected that Khan's fee for 'Jawan' surpasses Rs. 100 crore, with a share of 60% from the total profits. However, precise figures have not been disclosed. As for the acclaimed actress Nayanthara, reports suggest that she has been compensated between Rs. 8-11 crores for her role in the film.
Vijay, known for his exceptional acting prowess, had initially quoted a fee of Rs. 15 crores for 'Jawan'. However, after his stellar performance in 'Vikram', his remuneration was raised to a whopping Rs. 21 crores, marking the highest paycheck of his career.
The theatrical rights for 'Jawan' have been secured by the film's producer and distributor, Dil Raju, for a value of Rs. 250 crores across all Indian languages. Dil Raju's previous attempts to conquer the North Indian box office with films like 'Jersey' and 'HIT' failed, but the buzz surrounding 'Jawan' suggests that this time he may succeed.
Even before the release of the preview, the non-theatrical rights for the film, including music, satellite, and digital streaming, were sold for a remarkable Rs. 250 crores. Industry insiders predict that with the tremendous anticipation surrounding the film and its stellar cast, 'Jawan' will surpass the box office collections of the successful film 'Pathaan'.
Initially slated for a June 2 release, 'Jawan' was postponed due to extensive VFX and post-production work. The final release date is now set for September 7, and fans are eagerly awaiting the arrival of this cinematic extravaganza.
