Deepika Padukone did not charge a penny for Jawan; reveals she and Shah Rukh Khan are each other’s lucky charm: “There is so much trust and respect”

With Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan has once again given another massive success to the film industry. Helmed by Atlee, the film has collected Rs. 369.43 crore at the box office. The film stars Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in pivotal roles. Deepika’s special appearance was met with cheers, claps and whistles in theatres. Interestingly, the actress recently revealed that she did not charge a penny to star in Jawan.

In a conversation with The Week, when asked if she charges for making special appearances in films, Deepika said, “No, I don’t. I wanted to be a part of 83 because I wanted it to be an ode to women who stand behind their husbands’ glory. I watched my mother do it. This was my homage to wives who make sacrifices to support their husbands’ careers. Other than that, any special appearance for Shah Rukh Khan, I am there. Same with Rohit Shetty.”

Talking about her equation with SRK, she added, “We are each other’s lucky charm. But honestly, we are beyond luck. We have a sense of ownership over each other.” She further said, “I am one of the few people he is vulnerable with. There is so much trust and respect, and I think that luck is just the cherry on the top.”

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone have previously worked together in films like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express and Pathaan. The chemistry between them has always been a crowd-pleaser, and Jawan is no exception.

Jawan is a Red Chillies Entertainment presentation directed by Atlee, produced by Gauri Khan, and co-produced by Gaurav Verma. The film released on September 7, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages.
