Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' registers sold-out advance bookings in Mumbai
Bollywood's reigning superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, is gearing up to deliver another blockbuster with Jawan, slated to release on September 7. The excitement has reached a crescendo as advance bookings reportedly opened for select cinemas across Mumbai and Thane. In a truly awe-inspiring response, thousands of tickets sold out within minutes, with hundreds of fans swiftly buying tickets priced as high as Rs. 1,100.
Why does this story matter?
Khan made a remarkable comeback—after a hiatus of four years—with Pathaan in January. The Siddharth Anand directorial emerged as SRK's most successful venture, amassing an impressive gross of Rs. 1,060cr at the worldwide box office. Significantly, this year appears to belong to Khan, as, after Jawan's release, Dunki, featuring him and Taapsee Pannu and helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, will grace theaters on December 22.
