Anil Sharma has previously made films like The Hero: Love Story of a Spy and Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo.
Filmmaker Anil Sharma is currently basking in the success of his latest film Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel in the lead roles. The film is all set to become the second Bollywood film after Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan to earn over Rs 500 crore nett in India (the only other Hindi film to achieve this feat is the Hindi dubbed version of Baahubali 2).
In a recent interview, Anil Sharma shared that he loved the trailer of Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming actioner which releases in cinemas on September 7. The director, who has previously made films like The Hero: Love Story of a Spy and Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo, also revealed why he has never worked with Shah Rukh Khan yet.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Sharma said, “I just loved the Jawan trailer. I’ve always been a fan of Shah Rukh Khan. I’m so impressed, especially with the bald look he sported in the trailer, it is simply fantastic. I absolutely loved it and I’m gonna watch Jawan on its release day itself.”
When the filmmaker was asked why he hasn’t collaborated with the Swades actor, he said, “I never got a chance to collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan. If I ever get a chance, I’ll definitely work with him. Shah Rukh is a big star now, filmmakers are waiting in queue to work with him. How am I gonna get a chance? So, I don’t think about it much.”
Directed by Atlee, Jawan stars Nayanthara as the leading lady and Vijay Sethupathi as the main antagonist. The film is set to take a monstrous opening at the box office as the film has already sold more than 2 lakh tickets for its first day of release in advance bookings.
