New Delhi: Bollywood is gearing up for another much-awaited release which stars Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Sanya Malhotra and others. Directed by Atlee, 'Jawan' is already creating a stir among the audience, since the trailer has been released. In the movie, we see Shah Rukh Khan in many different looks including a bald one. Apart from them, Leher Khan, who was last seen in 'Brahmastra Part 1: Shiva' will also be there in the film as seen in the song 'Zinda Banda'.

In a candid conversation with ABP Live over a video call, Lehar Khan shared the fan-girl moment she had while working with Shah Rukh Khan.

She said, "Being one of the biggest fans of Shah Rukh Sir, I cannot even begin to explain what I am feeling about it, but I think that was something which stayed since the time I got the film. From childhood, I have been raised in a family which has been a fan of Shah Rukh Sir. My mother is a very big fan and I think I get it from her. As a toddler also, when there were songs from his movies played, I used to quiet down. He is my childhood. My parents tried some other actors and took me to other films, but everywhere else I used to cry and crib, so Shah Rukh Sir's film was a rule in my house."

"I know it's been a while since we are working on it, but still it seems unbelievable. It's about to release now and still, it seems 'Is it really happening?' So, the experience was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anything more," she went on to say.

Lehar indeed had a fan-girl moment on the sets of 'Jawan'. She then went on to talk about how Shah Rukh Khan is as a person beyond the camera and said that he is the "wittiest", "warmest" and "sweetest" person. She also went on the say that he is a very "passionate" actor and the "most energetic" person. 

"I think his energy is beyond... you cannot reach it, you cannot stay there. And, he is always into rehearsing his scenes before the take and usually does not like to waste takes or his energy. As an actor, I got to learn that from him," she added.

Talking about the look she has in Jawan, Lehar said, "As you can see in the song 'Zinda Banda' itself that we have different colourful looks, so you can expect different looks for the film as well for sure, but nothing more than that," keeping the suspense alive and at the same time increasing our anticipation.

'Jawan' is slated to hit the theatres on September 7, 2023.
