Atlee on directing SRK in 'Jawan'

Meanwhile, the film's director Atlee, recently opened up about directing superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

"I'm a fan of cinema and I'm a fan of Shah Rukh sir, Vijay sir. Whoever I've worked with, I first become their fan because if you want to get it right, you have to become a fan," he said, as per news agency PTI.

"As a fan, you will know which film is working and which is not working purely by heart... At the same time, if the actors are fans of a director's work or a cameraman's work and an editor's work, they also come up and say, 'Boss, I think you are not on the right track'," Atlee told the news agency.
