Jawan: How Shahrukh Khan and Atlee Made Deepika Padukone Look Silly

Jawan is a film where Shahrukh Khan is the star. Even though Deepika Padukone has just a 20-minute role in it, she's still getting a lot of love and appreciation. During an event for the movie, Shahrukh Khan made a light-hearted comment, suggesting that they might have tricked Deepika.

Film's Success

Shahrukh Khan's Jawan has crossed 400 crores at the domestic box office in just 9 days. The film is now among the top earners, with only four movies ahead in earnings.

Several scenes and dialogues from Jawan have gained immense popularity. Deepika Padukone has a special cameo in the film.

During a press conference, she joked about feeling like she had been fooled.

Shahrukh and Atlee's Trick

Shahrukh Khan, with a laugh, mentioned how Deepika Padukone might be thinking they both tricked her. He said, "Sitting here with the entire crew and team feels great, but Deepika might be feeling a bit awkward. Let me tell you why... She might be thinking she came to do a small role for a friend, but Atlee and I made her shoot for the entire movie without her realizing it."

Deepika's Reaction

Deepika Padukone responded, "Now, I feel I've been fooled. I was shooting for a project in Hyderabad when Shahrukh came to me, narrated the script, and mentioned a significant role for Aishwarya. For me, the length of a character doesn't matter; its impact on the film does."

Deepika Padukone Love for Shahrukh

Deepika Padukone continued, "On one hand, there's my love for Shahrukh, and on the other, this film is so special that any actress would've agreed to be a part of it. It was about their vision. Shahrukh started the story, and within a minute, I said, 'Why are you wasting your energy? I'm doing the film.' When Shahrukh and I work together, it's not formal; there's a lot of love between us, and it shows in our work."
