Directed by Atlee, the movie Jawan includes several talented female actors such as Deepika Padukone, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, and Ridhi Dogra, alongside Nayanthara. In this film, all the women play significant roles and have well-developed characters that depict strength and resilience. None of them are portrayed as victims or inferior. Each woman in the movie showcases their fighting spirit, whether it’s Deepika’s character fighting to protect her son or Nayanthara’s strong portrayal as a boss who is also a single mother. Priyamani’s fighting skills and Ridhi’s supportive nature bring additional depth to the story.
Jawan Box office
Jawan is getting closer to achieving a global box office collection of ₹1000 crore. The movie premiered on September 7, coinciding with the celebration of Janmashtami. This film also marks the debut collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and director Atlee.
