Atlee dissects the success of Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, explains how he explored the ‘mass layer’ of the superstar

What: The man of the moment, Atlee, is one of those rare filmmakers in India today who only has superhits in his filmography. He has delivered the biggest, loudest hit with Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Jawan, which is in the process of creating records at the box office. The film opened to supremely positive reviews by film critics and has cine-lovers flooding cinema halls.

Furthermore: Atlee talked about how he sticks to his “roots and basics” when he writes films with some of the top actors, including Tamil superstar Thalapathy Vijay. The director poured his heart for Shah Rukh Khan, and revealed how he’s been an SRK fan for the longest time. The filmmaker also discussed how he’s taken the audiences love and Jawan’s success as a “big responsibility” and will only make films for the masses, films that take the Indian cinema to the world.

We say: We agree! Atlee dissected all the layers of SRK. We watched the film and we thought the director tried various mini storylines exploring the heroic side of SRK and stitched them together to make Jawan a blockbuster.
