Shah Rukh Khan, the iconic Bollywood actor, has made a triumphant return to the silver screen in 2023, after a five-year hiatus. Following the earlier success of ‘Pathaan’ this year, he is now savoring the resounding victory of his latest venture, ‘Jawan,’ which has been attracting packed audiences in theaters all across the country.
‘Jawan’ has achieved an unprecedented feat in Indian cinema, smashing all previous box office records by becoming the first film to cross the incredible milestone of Rs 200 crore within a mere three days of its release.
Released on September 7, 2023, coinciding with the auspicious Janmashtami festival, the timing seems to have been perfect for ‘Jawan’ as the film has already amassed an astounding Rs 300 crore in just five days.
In a surprising development, the producers of ‘Jawan’ have inked a deal with a prominent OTT platform for the rights to stream the film. Jawan’s rights have reportedly been sold to Netflix for a whopping Rs 250 crore, reported by FPJ.
While an official streaming date remains undisclosed, eager fans anticipating the comfort of watching it at home may need to exercise some patience due to the ongoing success it continues to enjoy in theaters.
‘Jawan’ marks Shah Rukh Khan’s inaugural collaboration with the celebrated South Indian filmmaker Atlee and has been brought to life under the banner of Red Chillies, produced by his wife, Gauri Khan.
The Bollywood community and fans alike are eagerly awaiting the further milestones that ‘Jawan’ may attain as it sustains its phenomenal run in the Indian cinema landscape.
