The year 2023 was one of the best years of Shahrukh Khan's film career. In fact, last year, king Khan's three films 'Pathan', 'Jawaan' and 'Dunky' rocked the box office. Out of these, 'Jawaan', which released on the silver screen in september 2023, broke all the records at the box office.
South cinema's lady superstar nayantara made her bollywood debut with shahrukh khan in the film Jawaan. But, do you know that nayantara was not the first choice for this film? 'Jawaan', which earned more than Rs 1100 crore at the box office, would have had another South star in the lead role with shahrukh khan, but she rejected this film due to personal reasons and her ex-husband and then nayantara got this film.
This actress was the first choice for 'Jawaan', not Nayanthara
Before Nayanthara, the lead role in 'Jawaan' was offered to none other than samantha Ruth Prabhu, but at that time, the actress wanted to focus on her personal life and was planning a family with her ex-husband naga chaitanya so she turned down the film. However, soon things did not work out as expected for samantha Ruth Prabhu. Not only did she lose jawaan but she also got divorced from her husband Naga. Due to which there was turmoil in both her personal and professional life.
'Jawaan' is the highest grossing film of the year 2023
After this, Nayanthara was cast as the lead actress for 'Jawaan'. In the film, she gave a brilliant performance in the role of Narmada Rai, wife of Shah Rukh Khan's character Azad. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara, 'Jawaan' also featured Vijay Sethupathi, deepika Padukone, priyamani and sanya malhotra in important roles. With earnings of over Rs 1,148.32 crore, jawaan was the highest-grossing indian film of 2023.
