'Jawan' is a pan-India thriller which outlines "the emotional journey of a man who is set to rectify the wrongs in the society". It also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara.
The film marks the Hindi cinema debut of Atlee, best known for directing Tamil blockbusters 'Bigil', 'Mersal' and 'Theri' with superstar Thalapathy Vijay.

Asked if he plans to reunite with Vijay, Atlee said, "We will come back with something soon." 'Jawan' also features Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, Sunil Grover and Mukesh Chhabra as well as Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt in special appearances.
Earlier on Thursday, Malhotra had also visited Gaiety Galaxy theatre and interacted with fans.
