Following a five-year hiatus, Shah Rukh Khan has returned with a bang this year. While Pathaan grabbed the headlines at the beginning of the year, now Jawan has been the talk of the town. Pathaan ended up becoming a major commercial success and grossed over a thousand crores at the box office. Today, SRK’s second action thriller of the year Jawan has hit the theatres. His fans have been flocking to theatres to watch the morning shows.

According to ANI, several fans in Chennai gathered outside a movie theatre to celebrate Jawan’s release. They danced and cheered on the film’s release day. One fan can be seen offering milk to a giant SRK poster. This phenomenon has been unprecedented as it’s mostly done for superstars from the south. But the involvement of names like Atlee Kumar, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi has expanded the film’s reach to the South as well.
