If Jawan reaches the Rs 500 crore mark, it would be the third film to achieve that feat this year, a never-seen-before phenomenon in the Hindi film industry. It started with Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan (Rs 543.05 crore) and continued with Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 (Rs 517.28 crore). Besides these three, none of the Hindi films even crossed the Rs 400 crore mark. For the longest time, the highest-earning Bollywood film was Dangal which had earned Rs 387.38 crore.
Recently, at Jawan’s success meet, Atlee talked about the film’s budget. He shared, “I narrated the film on a Zoom call during COVID times. I know theatrical footfall was going down and people were not ready to greenlight even a Rs 30-40 crore film. I know because I am also a producer. But sir (Shah Rukh Khan) greenlighted a Rs 300 crore film when everyone was skeptical.” He said with a laugh, “But we didn’t finish at Rs 300 crore. We went more.”
