A project titled, Jawan in the combination of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan and Kollywood director Atlee Kumar was already announced officially a few months back. Earlier, the makers planning to rope in Rana Daggubati for the antagonist role in the movie but as Rana has some health issues, he opted out of the project.
Later, the team of Jawan approached star actor Vijay Sethupathi as a replacement for Rana. As Shah Rukh Khan personally convinced Sethupathi, he agreed to be a part of the film despite his busy schedules. Meanwhile, the latest news is that Vijay Sethupathi has changed his entire lineup of films schedule to accommodate call sheets for Jawan.
Reportedly, Vijay will join the shooting for Jawan from August last week. This said-to-be out and out commercial entertainer also stars Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra in key roles. The film aims for a June 2, 2023 release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu languages.
