ANN/THE STATESMAN – During an ‘Ask SRK’ session on X, curious netizens were pondering the authenticity of the advance booking figures for Jawan and decided to inquire about this matter from the superstar himself.
Shah Rukh Khan responded with a clever and humourous reply when someone inquired, “Could you enlighten us on the ratio of real to fake advance booking numbers for Jawan?”
Shah Rukh replied, “Don’t talk rubbish. Have positive thoughts and good feelings for all. Better for life.”
People have been questioning the given numbers, regarding both ticket bookings and box office ever since the release of Pathaan, as many found that the theatre bookings did not match with the numbers given by the film’s PR.
Others, in high anticipation of the movie even asked the actor for free tickets. One netizen asked the actor “Can you offer free ticket of Jawaan for my girlfriend? I am a useless boyfriend.” The actor answered, “Only my love is free! Don’t be cheap in romance go and buy the ticket… and take her with you.”
In addition, the actor thanked people for the massive love they have shown for the movie in Chennai, and even in Kathmandu, Nepal.
Another person asked him, “Which is your favourite look in Jawan? Lots of love from Greece!”
To this Shah Rukh Khan said, “I like all looks, you see the film and tell me yours.”
The advance booking for Jawan commenced on September 1 and reportedly saw the sale of nearly 400,000 ticket sales, as was announced by the actor on his X handle. Since then, the sales would only have increased, and as the film has been touted as one of 2023’s biggest pan-Indian releases, it is expected to be a game changer for Indian cinema.
Jawan is directed by Atlee, and alongside Shah Rukh also features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone (in a special appearance), Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, and Sunil Grover.
It is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and co-produced by Gaurav Verma.
