SRK Opens Up On Nayanthara's Single Mom Plot Getting Less Screen time In Jawan: 'It's Unfortunate...'

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is currently basking in the record-breaking success of his much-awaited film Jawan. Directed by ace filmmaker Atlee, the film featured Shah Rukh romancing Deepika Padukone and Nayanthara in different avatars. The superstar held an AskSRK session on X (formerly Twitter) where he said that he would interact with his fans before watching Jawan yet again. During the interaction, he addressed Nayanthara’s lack of screen time in the film.

One person wrote, “I loved Azad’s bond with Suji … single mom storyline was so subtly done and really refreshing. Thank you for representing women from all walks of life. Love you Shah @iamsrk ♾♥️ #AskSRK #Jawan.”

To this, the actor replied, “I also felt that the story of Narmada as a single mom was amazing. Unfortunately in the scheme of things couldn’t find more screen time but as is was also wonderful. #Jawan.”

Deepika Padukone, who has an extended cameo in the film, plays a pivotal part in the storyline and fans also appreciated her chemistry with Shah Rukh Khan. One fan asked, “Hey Vikram Rathore (Shah Rukh’s character), Aishwarya is watching you from heaven having fun with other girls and Azad (Another avatar of Shah Rukh), kya jawab denge Aishwarya ko? @iamsrk #Jawan #AskSRK”

In the edit, Shah Rukh as Vikram Rathore could be seen dancing in the film’s Not Ramaiya Vastavaiya song and Deepika as Aishwarya looked at him disapprovingly from “heaven”. Shah Rukh had an epic response to this question.

He replied, “She knows deep down inside I am a romantic and heart and respect women too much. She must be happy I am having fun!! You also have some fun now. #Jawan”

Jawan was released in theatres on September 7 amid much anticipation. The film also features Sanya Malhotra, Vijay Sethupathi and Lehar Khan among others.
