Atlee's recent directorial 'Jawan' has turned out to be a box office blockbuster. The Shah Rukh Khan-starrer has been breaking all records at the box office and is on the path of eating Khan's previous film 'Pathaan' that was released earlier this year. 

Jawan marks Atlee's first film with Shah Rukh Khan. The filmmaker recently recalled the reaction of his longtime collaborate, actor Thalapathy Vijay, upon learning about SRK's interest in working with him on a project. Atlee said that, like any other filmmaker, he saw it as a rare opportunity to collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan when the superstar suggested working together. Atlee said that he immediately agreed.
