Shah Rukh Khan dons so many avatars in the trailer for his 2023 film “Jawan” that it’s hard to keep track! It kind of reminds us of Kamal Hassan’s 2008 hit film “Dasavathaaram”. In fact, the “Jawan” trailer has all the makings of a South-Indian action blockbuster, complete with the versatile Vijay Sethupathi playing the primary antagonist in the film! Besides, it’s directed by Atlee, who has delivered action hits like “Theri” and “Mersal” in the past. So it’s going to be an interesting south meets north mash.
While the trailer starts off with Shah Rukh Khan portraying a badass bald hijacker trying to cut a deal for himself, we also see him as a fully decorated special forces officer refusing to bow down to anti-national forces. “Jawan” boasts an ensemble cast, with Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, and other actors making their appearances in the official Hindi trailer.
He might be the ultimate Bollywood romantic hero for most fans, but Shah Rukh Khan fully embraces his action hero era in this high-octane trailer. The film is set for a September 7 theatrical release. You can watch the Jawan trailer below.
