Shah Rukh Khan‘s last few releases before 2023 (Jab Harry Met Sejal and Zero) had failed to impress anyone. So after a five-year break, the superstar made his comeback with a bang. At the start of this year, he was seen in an action avatar in Siddharth Anand’s action thriller flick Pathaan. The film almost resurrected cinema halls in India and it turned out to be a massive commercial success.
Now, veteran filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma has a say in the success of this film. In an interview, RGV said: “One thing Pathaan did was to put a brake on this whole South wave. There was this perception that there was more acceptance for South films and that no Bollywood film is going to work anymore. This was when Kantara, RRR, and KGF – Chapter 2 were doing wonders at the box office. Pathaan stopped that myth as a blockbuster was delivered by a Hindi film star, Hindi director, and Hindi producer.”
The director also said that it’s the film that works because of its content and not because it’s from the North or South. In the past few years, RGV has been in the news for his sleazy films which he makes in Hyderabad. Recently, his iconic gangster film Satya clocked 25 years.

Jawan is slated to be released theatrically on 7 September in Hindi and in dubbed Tamil and Telugu versions.
After that, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s comedy-drama film Dunki. Co-starring Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal, the film will explore the issue of illegal immigration. Dunki will be releasing in the month of December during Christmas week this year.
