Jawan director Atlee REACTS to the criticism Shah Rukh Khan film received from South fans

Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi starrer Jawan is among the biggest Bollywood releases of this year. South director Atlee ventured into Bollywood with Jawan and proved that he is the king of massy films. Jawan continues to break several records with its fabulous run at the box office. Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee and all the other stars have been clearly happy with the appreciation and monetary success the movie has achieved so far. This is precisely why director Atlee has been speaking about the film’s success and plans ahead. In a recent interview, Atlee spoke about the criticism received by Jawan from some South fans.

In an interview with DNA, Atlee spoke about some fans criticising the film and stating that it is similar to the films he has made in the past. Some South fans drew comparisons between Mersal and Jawan due to the message shared by the film. On being asked for his reaction, Atlee said he is aware of such comments. He added that some people expect something while others surprise. He believes that people will always have something to say and that is fine. Atlee showed no qualms in saying that he will learn and get better. “But overall, what was my target audience, what was my intention of making this film? I wanted to make a commercial with responsibility. And, I made it. And even my fans are in South are going really gaga about the film. And I’ve got new fans in the North, and they are also. So I’m happy in that space. Of course, for any product, there will be a little dissatisfaction,” the director was quoted as saying
