Known for helming Tamil films such as Raja Rani, Theri, Mersal, and Bigil, Atlee is making inroads into Bollywood with Jawan. The Shah Rukh Khan film will mark his Bollywood debut. Jawan is gearing up for release next year. It also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, and Sanya Malhotra among others.

An over-a-minute-long teaser of Jawan was released in June this year. The teaser opened with a glimpse of the Northern Lights over mountain tops. In the video, Shah Rukh had a bandage wrapped around his face as he sat in the dark with the film’s theme playing in the background. He then removed a tarpaulin from a table in the shed to reveal weapons. A walkie-talkie buzzed in the teaser with a female voice saying, “Good to go, chief.” A close-up face of Shah Rukh is shown as he laughs and says, “Ready!”

Upon the completion of Jawan, Atlee is rumoured to reunite with actor Vijay for his next Tamil directorial. The duo has so far worked in three films together and all the movies have been box-office hits.
