The Tamil and Telugu versions of Jawan are also setting new benchmarks. It became the first Hindi film to hit a half-century in dubbed versions, according to Taran Adarsh. Take a look:

It is safe to say that the Jawan fever and Shah Rukh Khan’s charm have taken over the world. The film has crossed the ₹ 800 crore mark at the global box office.
In a recent interview with Pinkvilla, Atlee revealed that he never had “a second thought” about who will be playing the lead because “Jawan is only made for [Shah Rukh] Khan sir.” The filmmaker also mentioned that from day 1 of the shooting, the only person he interacted with was Thalapathy Vijay, who was “very advisory and always a backbone” to him during this journey of filming Jawan.
Atlee said, “Jawan is only made for [Shah Rukh] Khan Sir. I didn’t have a second thought about who is going to do it. But from day 1, the script, the scenes, what I do, how it went; the only person I interacted with was Vijay sir. He is like a brother to me. And we are very serious about what we do in life. So he used to share about his films. I shared what I was doing and all.”
“So he was very advisory and always a backbone to me. We shared a lot of stuff on Jawan, what is happening on Jawan; but it is purely made for Shah Rukh,” he added.
Atlee and Thalapathy Vijay have collaborated in a series of blockbuster films like Theri, Mershel and Bigil.
