2023 will always be remembered as the year dominated by the king of Bollywood Shahrukh Khan. King Khan started the year with a bang with Pathaan’s mind-blowing success at the box office, and the actor is well on his way to ending it with a bang. Thanks to SRK’s Jawan he is adding another feather to his cap. The film has garnered an international nomination.
The Astra Film and Creative Arts Awards (ASTRA Awards) nominations for 2024 were announced by the Hollywood Creative Alliance on December 7. Jawan secured a nomination in the Best International Feature category among notable films like Anatomy of a Fall (France), Concrete Utopia (South Korea), Fallen Leaves (Finland), and others. Atlee expressed gratitude for the nomination using red heart emojis on Twitter, now identified as X. Twitter is buzzing with excitement over the film’s global recognition.
Jawan is an action thriller film co-written and directed by Atlee. The film also marked Atlee’s Hindi film directorial debut. The film has been produced under the Red Chillies Entertainment banner by Gauri Khan and Gaurav Verma.
The film stars Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role as father and son who team up to rectify corruption in society. Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone (billed as a special appearance), Priyamani and Sanya Malhotra appear in supporting roles.
Jawan was initially planned for release on 2 June 2023 but was postponed due to unfinished post-production work. It was theatrically released on 7 September 2023 in standard, IMAX, 4DX and other premium formats, coinciding with Janmashtami.
