The King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, is all set to return to the screens with Atlee’s upcoming film ‘Jawan’. Also starring the Lady Superstar of South, Nayanthara, the film is one of the most awaited projects of Shah Rukh. Although Shah Rukh was last seen in ‘Brahmastra Part One: Shiva’ and ‘Laal Singh Chadha’ in cameo roles, his last film that hit the theatres was ‘Zero’, co-starring actor Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

However, come 2023 and Shah Rukh Khan will treat his film with not one but three back-to-back films. He will soon be seen in Siddharth Anand’s ‘Pathaan’, Atlee’s ‘Jawan’ and Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Dunki’, all of which will be released in the theatres in 2023. While ‘Pathaan’ is gearing up for its release in January, an update regarding ‘Jawan’ has come to the fore.
