Thanking choreographer Yogi Babu, he added, “Yogi Babu, thank you so much. I remember him from Chennai. He was so shy and so quiet. And I remember I came to market the film here. And everybody was screaming and shouting in the theatre. For one brief moment, I thought it was for me. And then I realized, no, they were all pushing me aside and they just wanted to say, Yogi Babu, so thank you so much for being part of Jawan, you are awesome sir.”

He continued his speech, “Our editor who’s been working round the clock. He says I will only have a haircut only after he finishes editing the film. He’s not had a haircut yet.

Brands excited for Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan; to buy 1,00,000 tickets for their consumers

Earlier in July, Bollywood Hungama was the first to inform our esteemed readers that the brands are excited about the release of Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani as multiple brands are ready to buy over 50,000 tickets of the film for their consumers and employees. The news created a stir within the film fraternity as well as the social media circles. And now, we have another industry scoop on the release of the Shah Rukh Khan-led Jawan.

Sources close to the development have confirmed that brands are ultra excited about the return of Shah Rukh Khan to the big screen with Jawan. “The cities are flooded with co-branded hoardings – be it outdoor or buses and trains. The brands have done a huge tie-up with Shah Rukh Khan on Jawan, as they have taken the onus to promote the film as also partner to distribute tickets to their consumers,” revealed a trade source to Bollywood Hungama.

The source further informed us that around 1,00,000 tickets are blocked by brands for the holiday period, which will be distributed among their privileged consumers. “It’s a normal practice for brands to celebrate event films. This happened during Pathaan, though at a much smaller scale, it happened for Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani and it’s happening for Jawan. Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Karan Johar are favorites of the brands when it comes to film releases. It’s basically a deal of SRK and the brands i.e. the brands that SRK is endorsing have partnered with Red Chillies on the marketing front for all SRK films,” the source explained to us.

This is also a very common practice in the South which is slowly making its way in the Hindi Film Industry, giving an additional padding to feature films to open and spread the word of mouth faster. “Corporate bookings are official and happening in the industry for the longest time. It is self-buying of producers that is harmful, as the producers themselves put in the money to buy tickets without putting in the effort to fill the seats. However, with brands, it’s always a marketing exercise leading to the spread of word of mouth faster due to bigger sample size.”

Some of the top brands have partnered on the Jawan ticket contest – from cars to watches to even tiles and toiletries. The Atlee-directed entertainer is ready to hit the big screen on September 7, 2023. It stars SRK with Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi.

Sunny Deol says ‘time heals everything’ as he addresses old feud with Shah Rukh Khan, says SRK called to congratulate him for Gadar 2 success

It seems like the long feud between Sunny Deol and Shah Rukh Khan has come to an end which reportedly had started during Darr release. However, following the blockbuster success of Gadar 2, SRK made a call to Sunny to congratulate him on his win at the box office. SRK recently revealed that he had watched the movie and loved it.

Sunny told Times Now, “Shah Rukh Khan had seen the film. Before that, he had called me and wished me well. He was so happy, and he told me, ‘I’m so happy, you genuinely deserve it’ and I said thank you. Then I spoke to his wife (Gauri Khan) and his son (Aryan Khan). And he said tonight we are going to be watching this film. And after that, he had seen it, and I think that is when he tweeted.”

“It was so beautiful. Many times I’ve also called him up and we shared our thoughts on certain things,” he sai. He added, “About the past issues – whatever they were, I would say time heals everything and we move ahead. That’s the way life should be.”

Previously, Deol was unhappy with the way SRK’s character in Darr was glorified. During an appearance on Aap Ki Adalat, Sunny said, “At the end of the day, people loved me in the film. They loved Shah Rukh Khan as well. My only issue with the film was that I did not know they would glorify the villain. I always work in films with an open heart and believe in the person. I believe working with trust. Unfortunately, we have many actors and stars who don’t function in this manner. Maybe that’s the way they want to get their stardom.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for the release of Jawan on September 7, 2023.
