Ahead of the release of Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan, the two stars of the film - SRK and Vijay Sethupathi have revealed how they got on board Jawan and explained their experience working with each other and director Alee in the action entertainer.

In a new promotional video for the film, the actors answered seven questions related to Jawan which is all set to release in theatres tomorrow, September 7.

When asked about how he collaborated with Atlee, Shah Rukh Khan said he first met the director during an IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders a few years ago.

"Then COVID happened and I was sitting at home, he came to see me in Mumbai. He said, 'I have a film and I found it very interesting because the first thing he told me was, 'It's you, sir, along with five girls and that's my film because my wife Priya and myself really feel that you look the nicest when you have a bunch of ladies with you in a film.' So I said okay."

When the same question was posed to Vijay Sethupathi, he explained, "I met SRK sir and Atlee at Nayanthara's marriage. We had met in Australia already and I suddenly asked, 'I want to be a bad guy in your film sir.' Then he said, 'We were also thinking about your past year, so surprised that you also asked.' So that's how I got into this film."

He further added, "He narrated the script and I liked it. Whenever I play the villain, I'm not the villain. The hero is the villain because I'm on my path and someone is disturbing me, which means he's the villain for me."

Jawan also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Priyamani in lead roles. Sanya Malhotra, Ridhi Dogra, and Yogi Babu play prominent supporting roles in the upcoming film. 

Featuring music direction by Anirudh Ravichander, the film has cinematography by GK Vishnu and editing by Ruben. The film is backed by Red Chillies Entertainment.
