Shah Rukh Khan is proving time and again that he is undoubtedly the ‘Badshah of Bollywood.’ After taking a four-year-long hiatus from acting, he came back with a bang earlier this year with Pathaan, which broke all box office records. His second venture this year is director Atlee’s Jawan, and it is expected to surpass Pathaan at the box office due to its thrilling storytelling and ensemble cast that features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, and Priyamani in lead roles, with Deepika Padukone making a cameo performance.
