In an explosive turn of events, director Atlee has hit a home run with his fifth consecutive blockbuster, 'Jawan', featuring none other than the iconic Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role. The film is on the verge of smashing the coveted Rs 1,000 crore marks at the global box office, leaving audiences worldwide in awe.

In an exclusive interview with Film Companion, Atlee dropped a bombshell revelation.

 He said, "People who worked on our film were from Hollywood. Action director Spiro Razatos worked with us. So, Spiro and other great director and technicians from Hollywood were at the same screening of Jawan. And Spiro said I have done action in this film. So, they asked who has done that scene where SRK is engulfed in flames. He said, ‘It was the director’s vision and he executed it.’ So they immediately connected with me and told me, ‘If you want to work in Hollywood, let us know,’ so it isn’t a taste which is very desi. It is something superheroic and it has a very basic rhythm. I thought this idea only works for us but it is working globally.”

'Jawan' isn't just a desi delight - it's a globally acclaimed superheroic spectacle with a universal appeal. Nayanthara sizzles as the female lead alongside Shah Rukh Khan, while the incomparable Deepika Padukone dazzles in an unforgettable cameo.

With a staggering Rs 979 crore in the coffers within a mere 18 days, 'Jawan' shows no signs of slowing down. Vijay Sethupathi's menacing portrayal as the main antagonist adds a thrilling edge to the film.

The star-studded cast, featuring Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, Sunil Grover, and the sensational Sanjay Dutt in a cameo appearance ensures 'Jawan' is a cinematic rollercoaster you won't want to miss.
