Shah Rukh Khan`s Jawan is the current talk of the town. With Bollywood stars, critics and audience praising the film for providing wholesome entertainment, theatres are going houseful. Amid the success of Jawan, director Sanjay Gupta visited a theatre to watch the film. On X (Twitter originally), the filmmaker shared an anecdote and praised Shah Rukh.
Recalling the time when underworld bullying plagued the film industry, Sanjay wrote, "I saw JAWAN. I feel compelled to share this. Back in the 90’s when the underworld bullying of the film stars was at its peak @iamsrk was THE ONLY star who never gave in. “Goli marni hai mar do, par tumhaare liye kaam nahin karoonga. Main Pathan hoon.” He said. He’s the same today."
