'Jawan' was a sensational hit at the Hindi box office in 2023. It collected huge figures in Telugu as well. The film remains Shah Rukh Khan's biggest-ever blockbuster. The vigilante action entertainer was directed by Atlee.
Atlee is rumouredly going to wield the megaphone for a Salman Khan-starrer next. The Bollywood superstar must be dreaming about achieving the kind of success 'Jawan' enjoyed.
The Salman-Atlee biggie, if it happens, will be a huge opportunity for the actor to prove that he is the best bet for films with southern Indian cinema masala tropes.
Atlee, if he delivers a second blockbuster in Bollywood, will be on a hat-trick. He will be considered bigger than any filmmaker by Hindi film stars.
