Jawan: From Priyamani Raj to Sanya Malhotra, Meet 'Chief' Shah Rukh Khan's Band of 'Girls' in His Upcoming Atlee Film (View Pics)
The Jawan Prevue mentions SRK, Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone by their names, but what about SRK's girl army, seen with him during the infamous Metro sequence?
The 'prevue' of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming action entertainer, Jawan, has left fans asking for more. Not exactly a trailer, the promo is filled with some dazzling action sequences, mass moments and stuff that's already become fodder for viral content (a bald SRK dancing to Bees Saal Baad's "Bekarar Karke Humein Yoon Na Jaiye" is one such scene). The prevue also gave glimpses of other main characters of the film including Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone who will be seen in a special appearance.

Apart from the, there are quite a few actresses who didn't get name-called in the prevue, but the promo establishes they will have major roles in Jawan. They are the 'girls' that the bald SRK character has roped to help in his missions, who answers to his call 'Good to go, girls?' with 'Yes Chief!'. It is unclear why they do not get mentioned by their names, considering one of them is a National winning actress and another is a very popular Bollywood leading lady.
ICYMI, here's the Prevue of Jawan:
Anyway, for your sake, we have decided to do some introductions here.
Priyamani Raj
The popular actress known for her work in Tamil and Malayalam cinema had won National Award for Best Actress for her hard-hitting performance in Paruthiveeran. Priyamani had earlier worked with SRK in Chennai Express where she had a special appearance in the song "One Two Three Four". Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan romantic interest Nayanthara was the first choice for that song. Priyamani is also known among the Hindi audiences for her roles in Raavan and The Family Man.
Sanya Malhotra
Having made her debut in one of the highest grossing films of all time and starring Aamir Khan, Sanya Malhotra has come a long way from Dangal and continues to impress viewers with her performances. She was impressive in films like Patakha, Photograph, Pagglait, Love Hostel and her latest release, Kathal. She will also be seen opposite Vicky Kaushal in Sam Bahadur.
Sanjeeta Bhattacharya
Know more prominently as a trained singer with a Grammy nomination under her belt, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya had made her debut as an actress with Netflix's web-series Feels Like Ishq, and also later appeared in Zee5's The Broken News. Jawan will be her big-screen debut. Jawan Prevue: Loved Shah Rukh Khan’s Dance to ‘Bekarar Karke Humein Yoon Na Jaaiye’? Check Out OG Song From Bees Saal Baad Featuring Waheeda Rehman and Biswajeet!

Girija Oak Godbole
Girija Oak is a popular Marathi actress, but she is also a very familiar face for the Hindi audience having appeared in films like Taare Zameen Par, Shor in the City, and also in the web-series, Modern Love: Mumbai.
Honourable Mention
Ridhi Dogra?
Although the Asur actress is not part of 'Chief' SRK's 'Spice Girls' band, Ridhi Dogra appeared in a blink-n-miss appearance in the preview as the jail warden who is seen holding the baby. The actress herself confirms it's her during a Twitter interaction.
There are other cast members like Sunil Grover and Yogi Babu who haven't made their presence made yet. Perhaps that would be rectified in the proper trailer reveal.
