It’s interesting to know that the famous dialogue “Bete ko hath lagane se pehle, baap se baat kar” in Shah Rukh Khan’s film “Jawan” was not originally part of the script but was added later. Sometimes, such spontaneous additions can enhance a scene and make it more impactful. In this case, it seems to have caught the attention of fans and added to the anticipation surrounding the film. It allows writers and directors to refine and improve the dialogue delivery while maintaining the core message and emotion of the scene.
Detailing how the dialogue became a part of the movie, Arora said it was joined in the film on the day of the shoot. “It’s a story that will make you believe in the magic of moviemaking. That line was never there in our draft originally. The ‘moment where SRK sir’s character says the line was always there, and we all knew that it was a powerful moment even without a dialogue. But while shooting, it was felt that there should be a line, that this guy should say something,» the writer said in a statement. I was there on the set, so I was called in, and the first words that came out of my mouth given the situation were: ‹bete ko hath lagane se pehle, baap se baat kar›. It just fits in. Director Atlee and SRK sir both felt it’s correct, and the shot was taken,» he added.
Directed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee, the movie features Shah Rukh in the role of Vikram Rathore and his son Azad. The movie highlights various social and political issues through the story.
Arora said the team didn’t expect that the dialogue would resonate with people in such a way. The way SRK sir delivered it gave us goosebumps. But we never thought that that line would become such a huge hit and would resonate with people in this way. As a writer, you can only write a line, but its destiny goes on to write itself,» he said.
