About Jawan
With Atlee at the helm, the movie saw Shah Rukh taking command over a double role, with one as a soldier-father and the other as a police officer-son. The movie hence became one of the highest-grossing Indian blockbusters, really appreciated for its emotional narrative, phenomenal monologues, and pure adrenaline rush-inducing action sequences.
What's Next for SRK?
Now, on the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to bounce back to the big screen with King, alongside his daughter Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Verma, and Jaideep Ahlawat. The film has already generated massive buzz among fans.
