Jawan is all set to hit the big screen on September 7.
Shah Rukh Khan reacts to Vijay Sethupathi’s story of taking revenge on a girl he loved. The superstar jokes about how he can’t take his girls away.
At the music launch of Jawan held in Chennai today, Vijay Sethupathi narrated a rather interesting anecdote. He revealed that working with Shah Rukh Khan in the film gave him the chance to take a revenge. “When I was in school, I loved a girl but she was in love with SRK. I took revenge now after so many years by working with him,” he shared.
Shah Rukh responded to his story with his signature wit and wry sense of humour. The superstar said, “Everyone praised me, except Vijay Sethupathi, who said he took revenge. Let me tell you that you can take revenge but you can’t take my girl.” Needless to say, this comment left the hall full of fans laughing out loud and hooting. Shah Rukh went on to refer to Vijay as ‘attagasamana’.
At the event, Kamal Haasan sent a video message for his Hey Ram co-star Shah Rukh, which marked the latter’s debut in the Tamil film industry. “All the very best Shah Rukh. I was just telling everyone that our friendship dates back to Hey Ram. His smile lights up many thousand faces,” the Vikram actor said. Speaking about how the veteran actor-politician happens to be one of his friends in the south film industry among three others, Shah Rukh added, “I was lucky to have made two friends in this industry. One is Santosh Sivan and the other is Mani Ratnam. Then I got to know Mr Kamal Haasan. And then came Rajinikanth.”
The music launch also saw SRK shaking a leg with music composer Anirudh Ravichander as he sang the Tamil version of Zinda Banda. At the event, Atlee also revealed that it was SRK who ‘suggested’ that Anirudh should compose the entire album of Jawan. Shah Rukh stated, “Anirudh is a little baby. I will miss you, my son. I’ve seen his Why This Kolaveri Di and since then I wanted to meet him. So, when Atlee came to me saying we can use Anirudh for one song in Tamil and one in Hindi, I suggested that he should compose all the songs.”
The Pathaan actor went to praise director Atlee and co-star Nayanthara too and revealed that he calls her ‘vaseegaramana Nayanthara’. Shah Rukh will next fly to Dubai to unveil the trailer of Jawan in Dubai. Jawan is a Red Chillies Entertainment presentation, produced by Gauri Khan, and co-produced by Gaurav Verma. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra and Priyamani. It will release worldwide in theatres on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages.
