New Delhi: Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan on Friday gave his fans a big surprise as he dropped the teaser for his upcoming action-thriller ‘Jawan’.
While his die-hard fans are in awe of the intriguing first glimpses of SRK’s maiden project with Tamil filmmaker Atlee, Netizens find the entire teaser along with Khan’s look in the film a ‘copy’ of the 1990 Hollywood film Darkman.
In the teaser, Khan appears bloodied and injured with his entire face wrapped in bandages. The newly released look of Shahrukh is now giving deja vu to the social media users, as it looks like a copy of Sam Raimi’s anti-hero film ‘Darkman’ in 1990.
Actor Liam Neeson had played the character of a scientist named Peyton Westlake in ‘Darkman’, who develops an artificial skin and experiments on himself in his own lab, during which an explosion occurs leaving him injured. Driven by his injuries and filled with vengeance, he becomes the ‘Darkman’.
As soon as the teaser surfaced online, internet users flooded the microblogging site Twitter with hilarious memes and jokes, taking a dig at Bollywood’s ‘copy’ culture.

Recently, while talking about Jawan, SRK had said, “Jawan is a universal story that goes beyond languages, geographies and is for all to enjoy. Credit goes to Atlee for creating this unique film, which has also been a fantastic experience for me as I love action films! The teaser is the just tip of the iceberg and gives a glimpse into what’s to come”.
Though the plot of the film is not revealed yet.
