Massive update on double role played by Shah Rukh Khan in Atlee's Jawan; deets inside

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is slated to play a double role in his forthcoming film Jawan. If reports are to be believed, SRK starrer Jawan is inspired from Kamal Haasan's Oru Kaidhiyin Diary, in which Kamal had played the role of both father and son.

Hyderabad:Since it was announced, Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming movie Jawan with South director Atlee, has generated a lot of buzz. The most recent update claims that Kamal Haasan's Oru Kaidhiyin Diary served as inspiration for the movie. Aakhree Raasta (1986) featuring Amitabh Bachchan was an adaptation of Kamal Haasan's Oru Kaidhiyin Diary, which now served as inspiration for Jawan, according to reports.

The main plot of these legendary films, which centred on revenge, starred superstars in dual roles as father and son. The films had two of Indian film's biggest superstars and also one of their career-defining movies. According to sources, SRK also plays a father and son in the upcoming commercially entertaining movie with a comparable conflict theme.

According to reports, Atlee is a major Kamal Haasan fan and wants to give the 1980s movie his own unique interpretation. Nothing has, however, been declared in a formal manner as of yet. Whether Jawan is an adaptation or a homage to the classic films will be made clear by the film's teaser in the coming weeks.

Earlier, excerpts from the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan had been leaked. Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan's production company, Red Chillies Entertainment Private Limited, brought a claim against the defendant in the Delhi High Court. Two movie-related video clips, one of which included Shah Rukh Khan in a fight scene and the other of which featured a dance scene, were allegedly leaked on social media, according to the petitioner.

Following that, the Delhi High Court ordered a number of platforms, including social media sites, dubious websites, cable TV networks, direct-to-home services, and others, to take down the leaked clips and stop sharing them. The movie is slated to be released in theatres on June 2.
