New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone flew to Chennai to film Atlee’s Jawan. Deepika Padukone has been cast in a cameo role in the film, as previously reported. On Sunday, a video of Deepika and Shah Rukh arriving in Chennai went viral. Nayanthara, who recently returned from a vacation in Europe with her husband Vignesh Shivan, is likely to join them.
In the video, Shah Rukh and Deepika kept a low profile. They were seen outside the airport greeting the crew. Pooja Dadlani, Shah Rukh’s manager, and director Atlee were also seen in the video.
A source told the Hindustan Times in June that Shah Rukh will play double roles in the film. He will play a father and son, with Deepika playing senior Khan’s wife and Nayanthara playing junior SRK’s love interest.
“Padukone has a powerful character in Jawaan, which features Shah Rukh in a double role as a father and son. She plays SRK’s wife and features in the film’s flashback sequences. It’s a short but very important role, which acts as a key differentiator to the plot,” the insider claimed.
A source also told Pinkvilla that Shah Rukh and Atlee flew down to Hyderabad and met Deepika, where she was shooting for Project K with Prabhas, to offer the role. The insider claimed that the role is small but crucial. “Deepika has been in talks with SRK and Atlee for a while now and she is poised to make a short yet important appearance in the film. She has agreed in principle though the paperwork still remains,” the grapevine claimed at the time.
Jawan is scheduled to release in June 2023. Besides this, Shah Rukh also has his comeback film Pathaan with Deepika and John Abraham, and Dunki with Taapsee Pannu.
