Director Atlee Talks Shah Rukh Khan and the Making of "Jawan" in Exclusive Interview

Atlee, the acclaimed director known for delivering blockbuster hits in Tamil cinema, is creating quite a buzz with his latest film, “Jawan.” In an exclusive interview, he dives into the process of making “Jawan” a mass actioner and pays tribute to the legendary Shah Rukh Khan, all while maintaining the essence of his storytelling.

Atlee has earned a reputation in Tamil cinema similar to what Rajkumar Hirani has in Bollywood. He began his career with the romantic comedy “Raja Rani” in 2013 and later embarked on a series of successful star vehicles with actor Vijay. In his recent interview, Atlee discusses his cinematic journey and shares insights into his latest venture, “Jawan.”

When asked about his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee expressed his love for the actor across all phases of his career, whether it be his romantic roles in Karan Johar and Yash Chopra’s films, his compelling negative roles in movies like “Darr” and “Baazigar,” or his patriotic performances in “Chak De! India” and “Swades.”

In “Jawan,” Atlee aimed to create a mass avatar of Shah Rukh Khan, an uncharted territory for the actor. He noted that this was a unique opportunity to showcase a different side of Khan, and he believed it was a space worth exploring. Atlee’s creativity, combined with Khan’s willingness to venture into uncharted waters, resulted in a memorable cinematic experience.

Addressing the challenge of balancing fan service and storytelling in a star-studded film like “Jawan,” Atlee emphasized the importance of maintaining a core thought throughout the movie. Regardless of the actor, director, or technician involved, a film should offer a meaningful takeaway to the audience. For Atlee, the core thought in “Jawan” revolved around patriotism, a theme that seamlessly integrated with the film’s narrative.

Atlee also revealed that the urgency behind Shah Rukh Khan’s message encouraging people to vote wisely in the film was tied to the movie’s exploration of emotions related to being Indian. “Jawan” touches upon various aspects of these emotions, making it a compelling cinematic journey.

The interview delved into various aspects of “Jawan,” including the trigger for Vikram Rathore’s memory recovery, the film’s approach to storytelling, and the decision to focus on Vikram Rathore’s character. Atlee shared that his experience working with Shah Rukh Khan had been enriching and had motivated him to push his creative boundaries further.

As Atlee looks ahead to his future projects, he is inspired by the opportunity to create even more exceptional films, building upon the valuable lessons he learned from working with Shah Rukh Khan. “Jawan” stands as a testament to his dedication to storytelling and his commitment to delivering memorable cinematic experiences to audiences.
