Sanya Malhotra shares a cute throwback video
On September 7th, Sanya took to her Instagram to share a video of herself posing like Shah Rukh Khan. The video was shot by Nitesh Tiwari and was from the time when she was shooting for Dangal. The video is complimented by the ‘Mitwa’ track from SRK’s Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna. She captioned it, “Itni shiddat se maine ye manifest kiya hai, ki har zarre ne ye fulfil karne ki saazish ki hai.Kehte hain ki agar kisi cheez ko dil se chaho toh puri kainaat usse tumse milane ki koshish mein lag jaati hai.” Malhotra plays the role of Dr. Eram, who is a part of the girl gang, in Jawan.
Fan frenzy for Jawan
In Chennai, several fans gathered outside a movie theatre to celebrate Jawan’s release. They danced and cheered while one fan could 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. So far, the reviews about Jawan have been overwhelmingly positive.
