Shah Rukh Khan’s most anticipated Jawan finally arrived on the big screens on September 7 and has obliterated the box office. The film opened at Rs. 65.50 crore on Thursday and is truly shining with rave reviews coming from all across the world. Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta took to Twitter on Saturday to talk about SRK, Jawan and how he did not give in to the bullying of the underworld in the 90s.
In his tweet, Sanjay mentioned that Shah Rukh Khan did not bow down to the underworld and called himself a Pathan. Sanjay said, “I saw Jawan. I feel compelled to share this. Back in the 90s, when the underworld bullying of film stars was at its peak, @iamsrk was the only star who never gave in. "Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon.’ He said. He’s the same today.”
