Shah Rukh Khan upcoming film Jawan is just days away from its grand theatrical release next month. The film marks the Bollywood superstar’s second release this year after the all-time blockbuster Pathaan. After Pathaan crossed the Rs 1000 crore mark at the worldwide box office, trade analysts are expecting Shah Rukh to break his own records with Jawan. While the film is releasing on a non-holiday weekend, it seems like Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has given a big boost to the film.
Owing to the G-20 summit that is set to take place in Delhi from September 8 to 10, 2023, the Delhi Chief Minister announced a 3 days-long public holiday in the national capital. All schools and government offices will be closed during the weekend. As Shah Rukh Khan Jawan will be released in theaters on September 7, fans of the megastar believe that the Delhi CM just boosted the box office of the film with his move.
One user wrote, “It’ll be a blessing in disguise to have a 4 days-long holiday weekend.” Another comment read, “Sach bolo @arvindkejriwal #Jawan ki taiyaari kar rahe ho na.”
Touted to be an out-an-out commercial entertainer, Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan will be released in multiple languages including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. The film also stars Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in pivotal roles and features Deepika Padukone in a special appearance. Directed by Atlee, Jawan features Shah Rukh in a double role – an intelligence officer and a thief.
