Priyamani felt ‘protective’ towards Jawan’s girl-gang, dropped them home after pack-up at odd hours: ‘Didn’t want them to go alone at 2 am’

Priyamani made sure her Jawan co-actors reached home safely

The actor made sure to drop off the girls at a location which was well-lit and not deserted. She added, “When I got a chance, I used to drop Aaliyah and Sanjeeta halfway, at least where there were people. We were shooting at a deserted place, so I didn’t want them to be all alone.” She also made sure that Ashlesha Thakur, the actor who played her daughter in The Family Man, also reached home safely after finishing the shoot.

While Priyamani embraced this responsibility, their ‘chief’ Shah Rukh Khan ensured that all of them were comfortable during the shoot of the film. Lehar had earlier told indianexpress.com, “Jawan was a hectic film for him (SRK) as he played a double role and had to wear prosthetics, yet amid all the messy, chaotic environment, he was all out taking care of his girls, as he calls the six of us. He also has the warmest hugs to give. I think one is a fan of him as an actor and when they meet him, they become a fan of him as a person.”

Jawan is having a successful run at the box office. The film has already become the second-biggest release of all time after Pathaan (Rs 543.05 crore). The film’s total domestic collection after 13 days is Rs 526.73 crore.
