Jawan: Shah Rukh Khan Reveals He & Atlee 'Fooled' Deepika Padukone, Here's How She Came On Board

Shah Rukh Khan's latest film, "Jawan," directed by Atlee, continues to dominate the box office, with global earnings surpassing an impressive Rs. 696 crore. To celebrate this remarkable success, the makers of "Jawan" recently organized a success meet at YRF Studios in Mumbai. The event was graced by the presence of Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra, Sunil Grover, Vijay Sethupathi, and others.

During the event, Shah Rukh Khan playfully disclosed that he and Atlee had managed to play a little trick on Deepika. He humorously stated, "We managed to fool Deepika. Initially, she believed she was doing just a cameo out of affection, but we slyly had her shoot for the entire film. I want to express my gratitude to Atlee, Vijay Sethupathi, Nayan ji, and especially Deepika for not realizing that we had her film the entire project."

Deepika Padukone also shared her perspective on how she became a part of "Jawan." She expressed, "It has all been incredibly overwhelming, to be completely honest. I'm not discovering here that I was deceived and duped. While I was shooting for Project K in Hyderabad, Atlee and Shah Rukh Khan both flew down to meet me. They narrated the entire story and explained the significance of the character Aishwarya to me."

"For me, the length of the role wasn't the primary consideration; it was the character's impact on the entire film. There were two essential aspects for me: firstly, everyone knows about my admiration for Shah Rukh Khan, and I will always be there for whatever he needs. Secondly, the film was so extraordinary that any actor, not just me, would have immediately accepted this role. It was all about the vision," added Padukone.
