Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Jawan' is achieving remarkable milestones in terms of box office earnings. Globally, the movie directed by Atlee, has surpassed the Rs 650 crore mark. In order to commemorate the film's massive success, the 'Jawan' team hosted an event in Mumbai, during which Shah Rukh Khan expressed his appreciation for the dedicated technicians who devoted four years of hard work to the project.

Shah Rukh Khan made a grand entrance onto the stage, greeted by enthusiastic cheers from both the media and his fans who had gathered to celebrate the success of his film. He commenced his address by explaining the purpose of the event, but not before kindly asking for a couple of minutes to speak. Shah Rukh expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much. People who have come here today have very little time, so let me talk for two minutes and then we can shout, whistle, and scream, lot of reasons to do it. Biggest thank you to the press here, thank you fans…"

Shah Rukh Khan, who portrayed a dual role in the film 'Jawan,' disclosed that the movie had been in production for the past four years. He expressed his gratitude to the dedicated crew members who relocated from South India to Mumbai and worked tirelessly until the film was finished.

Shah Rukh continued, "Very seldom do we get this opportunity to live so many years with a film. 'Jawan' has been in the making for four years, of course, because of Covid and time constraints. There were so many people involved in this film, especially people from the South, who came and shifted to Mumbai and have been living in Mumbai for the last four years, working day and night for this film. They have worked the hardest. Many people did not go home, they were here to make the film. Some people even had babies here, like my director Atlee."
