Actor Alia Bhatt has responded to her reference in the trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Jawan.’ The actor took to her Instagram Stories last week and shared the movie trailer. She captioned it, “Aur poori duniya ko chahiye sirf SRK!!!!! @IAMSRK What a fabulous fabulous trailer.. 7th September is tooooo far away…”
The trailer features Shah’s titular character, keeping people in a metro compartment hostage and negotiating with Nayanthara’s cop character on the phone. When asked what he wants, he responds cheekily, “Chahiye toh Alia Bhatt.”
Shah Rukh and Alia have shared the screen space in Gauri Shinde's 2016 slice-of-life film ‘Dear Zindagi,’ which was also co-produced by Shah Rukh's Red Chillies Entertainment. The banner also backed Alia's debut film, Karan Johar's 2012 campus caper ‘Student of the Year,’ and Jasmeet K Reen's Netflix India dark comedy ‘Darlings’ from last year.
Among others who reacted to the trailer were filmmaker Karan Johar, who called it the “trailer of the century.” Jawan, directed by Atlee and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Sunil Grover, Yogi Babu, and Ridhi Dogra, among others. It will be released in cinemas in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu on September 7.
Meanwhile, Alia was last seen in her international debut, Tom Harper's spy thriller ‘Heart of Stone,’ also starring Gal Gadot.
