Earlier, the trailer of the film was showcased at the iconic Burj Khalifa building in Dubai in the presence of Shah Rukh Khan. The actor performed with a dance troupe on the song "Zinda Banda" from the film at the event, also attended by director Atlee and music composer Anirudh Ravichander.
The film's trailer was projected on the iconic building during the event, where Shah Rukh and the team also launched the Arabic version of the movie's popular song 'Chaleya'.
Talking about the film, SRK said, "'Jawan' is very special for us because somewhere we realised that entertainment, what we entertain you with, it should have no language, religion, caste, colour, creed or any kind of distinction. We should all come together to celebrate entertainment with our families, loved ones. This is the first step in that direction. So we made the film in Tamil and Telugu.”
'Jawan' also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi Sanya Malhotra, Priyamanai, Sunil Grover and Mukesh Chhabra in key roles. Deepika Padukone will be seen in a special appearance.
