With just a fortnight remaining until Shah Rukh Khan graces the silver screen once again with “Jawan” following the resounding success of his recent film “Pathaan,” anticipation is at an all-time high. “Pathaan” marked SRK’s triumphant return to cinemas after a hiatus of nearly five years, and his fans were left yearning for more. The film currently reigns as India’s highest-grossing film (earning Rs 543 crore) and stands as the second highest-grossing Indian film in the United States. While “Pathaan’s” Indian record faces competition from Sunny Deol’s “Gadar 2,” which has already entered the 400 crore club, Shah Rukh Khan himself is poised for a face-off in the US as “Jawan” ignites excitement among cinephiles.
Advance booking for “Jawan” opened a month ahead of its release in the United States, offering audiences the opportunity to experience the film in 2D, XD, and IMAX formats across Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. Our earlier report highlighted the film’s advance booking debut in the United Arab Emirates last week—both territories are Shah Rukh Khan strongholds.
Across 367 locations in America, “Jawan’s” advance booking is in full swing, boasting an impressive lineup of around 1600 shows on its opening day. As of this morning, approximately 9700 tickets have already been reserved, translating to a potential box collection of Rs 1.2 crore. With 16 days left until the film’s premiere and a slew of promotional activities lined up by the film’s creators, this figure is likely to rise substantially. Notably, around 9200 tickets have been snapped up for the Hindi version, 360 for Telugu, and 200 for Tamil, while IMAX format has secured around 2668 bookings.
The ensemble cast of “Jawan” includes Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, a cameo appearance by Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Sunil Grover, among others. Directed by Atlee, the film is set to captivate audiences with its blend of talent and cinematic spectacle. As the countdown to “Jawan” continues, the anticipation only intensifies, promising another chapter of Shah Rukh Khan’s legacy on the global cinematic stage.
