At long last, Red Chillies Entertainment has released the official trailer for Shah Rukh Khan's hotly-awaited action thriller JAWAN, featuring King Khan in a role unlike any we've ever seen him in before.
While plot details are being kept heavily guarded in the deepest corners of Mannat, the film is being described as a "high-octane action thriller which outlines the emotional journey of a man who is set to rectify the wrongs in society."
Khan will play the title role of a JAWAN, which translates to "Soldier," who will apparently recruit an elite team of female soldiers to take on one of the most dangerous on-screen foes he's ever faced, played by Vijay Sethupathi. The film is one of the most ambitious and largest productions in the history of Indian cinema and is widely expected to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest Indian releases of the calendar year.
With the Oscar-winning RRR introducing a whole new audience to Indian cinema over the past year and SRK's own Pathaan grossing approximately $128.7 million worldwide this past January, there's plenty of reason to believe JAWAN will perform similarly across the globe, including another exceptional performance in the North American and European markets.
Plus, in just 24 hours, the trailer has amassed 112 million views across all platforms, already making it the most-viewed teaser of any Indian film ever, so the buzz is certainly at an all-time high and it's only going to get bigger from here.
In addition to SRK, the supporting cast consists of Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, Girija Oak, Sanjeeta Bhattacharya, Lehar Khan, Aaliyah Qureshi, Ridhi Dogra, Sunil Grover, and Mukesh Chhabra, with Khan's frequent collaborator Deepika Padukone making a special appearance.
For international audiences, the new trailer will be attached to screenings of Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, so be sure to arrive early if you want to catch it on the big screen!
