“I saw JAWAN. I feel compelled to share this. Back in the 90’s when the underworld bullying of the 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,” Sanjay wrote.
Sanjay then called Shah Rukh Khan a “man with a spine of steel”.
He added: “The entire finger monologue in JAWAN is the single most gutsy thing in our films in the last ten years. Hats off to the man with a spine of steel.”
Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan’, which is directed by Atlee, has created a tizzy at the box office. The film on Day 3 has crossed Rs 300 crore globally.
