Jawan team at the success meet
Atlee`s directorial starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead was released in theatres on September 7. The film has been breaking several records at the box office and is expected to break the records set by SRK`s `Pathaan` which was released earlier this year. On Friday, a week after the film`s release, the team of the film held a press meet to celebrate the success of the film. At the press meet, film editor Rueben shared his experience of working with the superstar.
Ruben recalled what Shah Rukh Khan told him when the film was on the edit table and required some scenes chopping. When the moderator asked Ruben how he felt when SRK told him to chop his scene and keep more of Vijay Sethupathi and the girls` scenes, the editor said, "For a star like Shah Rukh, he is the producer, he can take any control over the film. But he was very generous to say, ‘Please cut my scenes and please give it to the other actors, give it to the girls, give it to the villain.’ He wanted more scenes of the villain.”
