‘Jawan’ hit the theatres on September 7. There’s no stopping for the film at the box office. It has become the fastest Hindi movie to cross the Rs 500 crore mark at the global box office. It took the film just four days to reach this milestone.
‘Jawan’ marks the second release of SRK this year after blockbuster ‘Pathaan’, which also featured Deepika Padukone.
