In late 2019, it was rumored that Shah Rukh Khan would team up with Tamil film director Atlee and the project was confirmed in 2020.[13][14] In May 2021, it was reported that the filming would commence soon.[15]

Casting

Nayanthara was finalized, thus marking her Hindi cinema debut.[16][17] Priyamani, Sunil Grover, Sanya Malhotra and Yogi Babu later joined the cast. Babu joined with Khan after a decade, last he acted with Khan in Chennai Express. Rana Daggubati was offered the antagonist role but declined citing health issues and thus the role went to Vijay Sethupathi.[18][19][20] Deepika Padukone joined the cast in August 2022 in Chennai to shoot her cameo.[21] In September 2022, Thalapathy Vijay was confirmed to make a cameo in the film.[22] In March 2023, Sanjay Dutt joined the cast to shoot an action-packed cameo.[23]

Filming

Principal photography commenced in September 2021 in Pune.[24] Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara joined the 10–days shoot.[25] Khan resumed the shoot in June 2022 in Hyderabad.[26] Nayanthara joined the Mumbai schedule on 26 June 2022, after her marriage.[27] Some family sequences were taken in this schedule.[28]

In August, next schedule started in Chennai, where Deepika Padukone shot her cameo part.[29][30] Later Vijay Sethupathi joined the shoot. Some action sequences between Khan and Sethupathi were taken in this schedule.[31][32] A song featuring Priyamani and Khan was also shot in this schedule, in jail.[33] A month long Chennai schedule was wrapped on 7 October.[34][35]

Music

A. R. Rahman was reportedly approached by director Atlee to compose for the film.[43] Rahman subsequently declined the offer for reasons unknown, and Anirudh Ravichander was chosen to compose for the film, who would thus mark his debut as a solo composer in Bollywood, previously having composed a song for David and the background score of Jersey. The music rights were bagged by T-Series.[44][45]

Jawan is scheduled for a theatrical release on 7 September 2023 in Hindi along with dubbed versions in Tamil, Telugu languages.[46] Earlier the film was scheduled to release on 2 June 2023.
