I feel compelled to share this.
Back in the 90’s when the underworld bullying of the film stars was at its peak @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who never gave in.
“Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon.” He said.
He’s the same…
In prior interviews, SRK revealed that he had received calls from notorious figures like Abu Salem, Chhota Shakeel, and Chhota Rajan. He expressed that he was never fearful for his own life but rather concerned about the safety of his wife and children. Jawan is helmed by Atlee and stars Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi in lead roles. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, and Sunil Grover amongst others. Jawan enters the Rs 100 crore club in India in just two days of its release.
