Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film, Jawan released in theatres on September 7 and within just three days of its release, the movie has already crossed the Rs 200 crore mark at the Indian box office. Eijaz Khan, who plays a pivotal role in the film, recently shared his experience of collaborating with SRK on the film.
He admitted to feeling hesitant about doing an action sequence that involved hitting Shah Rukh. However, to his surprise, SRK encouraged him to go through with it. In an interview with Connect FM Canada, Eijaz said, “Shah Rukh sir is not only one of the biggest film stars of India but also all around the world. And I know that. Luckily, I was part of a dance tour involving Salman sir and Shah Rukh sir. We used to go out of India and we did world tours for three months. And I have seen that frenzy.”
He continued, “I used to dance behind Shah Rukh, but now I share screen space with him. I am threatening him. I am asking him for suggestions for a scene. I did not interact much with Atlee sir and Shah Rukh sir, but I reminded him that I danced with him.”
Eijaz said that he was hesitant to do the action sequences because he had to push and hit Shah Rukh. He recalled SRK telling him, “Don’t worry, do it.” Eijaz added that the first time he could not do it and that time SRK said, “Eijaz do it, I can handle it.”
The actor added, “He wants to give you a spotlight to shine. He wants everyone to be happy and everyone to be satisfied with what they are doing. Such a big man and all he does is he tries to spread happiness, he tries to spread positivity, and he tries to let everyone bask in his glory and have their moment in the spotlight.”
Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone among others.
