Shah Rukh Khan’s Shoutout To Telugu Superstar Whose Movie Helped Him Prep For ‘Jawan’
Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’ has been making and breaking records ever since it released on September 7.
‘Jawan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi, released in theatres worldwide on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. This is SRK’s second film of 2023 after he delivered the blockbuster ‘Pathaan’ in January, which became the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time. And looks like ‘Jawan’ will soon defeat ‘Pathaan’, which made Rs 543.09 crore, as the former has already earned Rs 368.38 crore in all languages. Amid the massive success of ‘Jawan’, helmed by renowned South director Atlee, Telugu superstar Allu Arjun hailed SRK and the entire team of the new movie.
Allu Arjun, who rose to national stardom with ‘Pushpa: The Rise’, took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to congratulate the team of ‘Jawan’. In his tweet, Allu Arjun went on to praise SRK, calling it his “massiest avatar ever”.
SRK, who is super active on the micro-blogging platform, was quick to respond to the tweet and causally revealed something interesting.
SRK gave a huge shoutout to Allu Arjun, saying that he has seen the Telugu star’s ‘Pushpa: The Rise’ thrice, through which he “must have learnt” something.
