Jawan also features Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt in special appearances. Sanya Malhotra, Sunil Grover, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Ayesha Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, and Lehar Khan were also a part of the project.
Jawan was well-received by fans and critics. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV wrote, "Shah Rukh Khan carries off the onerous task with such phenomenal panache that one barely notices when one entity gives way to the other. The narrative is never in danger of losing its balance even as the performer and the character shorten the distance between them. On one level, Jawan is a fan service masala film. On another, it is a tale of revenge that is also a political statement, and a loud and clear one at that."
After Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for the release of Dunki, helmed by Rajkumar Hirani. The film also stars Taapsee Pannu. It is co-produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Jio Cinemas and Rajkumar Hirani Films. Dunki is eyeing a Christmas release. Dunki will clash with Prabhas' Salaar at the box office. Both the films are slated to release on December 22.
