Directed by Atlee and produced under Shah Rukh’s home banner Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan stars the actor in a dual role.

The storyline follows Azad, the jailer of a woman's prison, who guides a group of female prisoners in executing socially conscious heists. Along the journey, the protagonist reunites with his father, also played by Shah Rukh.

Marking Nayanthara’s Hindi film debut, Jawan features her as an intelligence officer and Azad’s love interest, Narmada.

The vigilante action film also stars Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra and Ridhi Dogra.

Released theatrically on September 7, 2023, Jawan became the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, earning Rs 1,160 crore worldwide, according to IMDb.

On the work front, Shah Rukh’s upcoming movie, King, is expected to feature him alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. The actioner, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, will reportedly feature Abhishek Bachchan in the role of an antagonist.
