Shah Rukh Khan is a Gentleman: Vijay Sethupathi on Teaming Up with SRK in 'Jawan'
Vijay Sethupathi shared his experience working with Shah Rukh Khan on Atlee Kumar's film, Jawan. The Tamil actor said that SRK was very sweet and didn't hold his stardom above anyone's head, and that he was quite helpful.
Actor Vijay Sethupathi says Shah Rukh Khan was a gentleman who never let his stardom come in the way of their collaboration in Atlee's film Jawan. The south superstar said they often discussed scenes together and had a great time. "I had a good time working on Jawan with Atlee and Shah Rukh sir. He (Khan) is a gentleman, he will never show that I am in the industry for so many years and I am the superstar. "Like, how I work with my co-actors, I could discuss (scenes) with him the same way."

"And then sometimes I would say, ‘sorry sir, if I disturb you', he would say, ‘no Vijay, do it'. I was very comfortable with him and he is very sweet," Sethupathi told PTI in an interview. Jawan is produced by Khan's production company Red Chillies Entertainment. The film will release across five languages — Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada in theatres across the globe on June 2, 2023.
