Vijay Sethupathi to take Revenge with SRK?
While the versatile star Vijay Sethupathi opened up on taking revenge with SRK. The antagonist recounted an incident where he was unable to approach a girl he had a crush on because she was infatuated with the King of Bollywood. He then humorously said, “When I was in school, I was in love with a girl. But she didn’t know. Every Jaanu has a Ram after all (a reference to his 2018 film ’96). But that girl was in love with SRK. It has taken these many years to have my revenge.”
Responding to Vijay, SRK said, “Everyone here spoke in Tamil and I am sure they all spoke good things about me. Except for Vijay Sethupathi, who was talking about a girl. Let me tell you one thing sir, You can have your revenge but not my girls. They are mine.”

The filmmaker said, "I will tell you a story. When I was working with director Shankar for Enthiran in Mumbai. I was told by my friend that we were shooting outside SRK’s house. He asked me to pose in front of the gate for a pic. After 13 years, the same gate opened and King Khan himself went, ‘Welcome, Atlee sir’."
Shah Rukh Khan’s Gratitude Speech
Starting with none other than Atlee, King Khan says, "It's great to see all of you here. I told Aalif if he could arrange for me to meet with the Atlee sir after making the wonderful film Raja Rani.. and we got together , Priya came over, they’re such a beautiful couple. They also had their own production during the three and a half years we were working on Jawan. They welcomed a lovely baby named Neel. Congratulations to them. Inshallah, Jawan will do well on 7th September there’s so much hardwork and love involved in here."
Addressing the music maestro Anirudh as his son, the Pathaan actor says, "Their is this little baby, who I think of like my own son now, thats Anirudh, so, he was telling me that, he will miss my calls and I hope that he do not graduate so much in the Hindi film industry and become so big, inshallah you should, that he doesn't take my calls, I will miss you my son."
And added, "I remember Atlee sir telling me that, there is this young kid, I have seen him like a baby 'Why this Kolaveri Kolaveri di', and from that time I have been wanting to meet him and Atlee sir told me there this young kid can we do one song with him in the Tamil version and the Hindi version and I said no we have to do all the songs with only Anirudh and the amount of hard work he has put in, Thank you, Anirudh, I love you so much. And a big gratitude and love to your parents to both father and mother. Thank you sir and ma'am."
Talking about Sethupathi, SRK says how much he has learned from him, "And I'll take a moment and tell you how much I love Vijay sir, I met him in Melbourne he's talked about I heard him talk keep talking Tamil. I'm assuming he was talking about that instance. And then one day we were here for Nayanthara ji's wedding, and I met him and we all decided to work together. I cannot tell you how much I've learned from you"
Further, he talked about the choreographer Shobi master, and how he made him dance, "There is Shobi master, who made me dance like a mad man. I told him,I can't dance like Rajni sir. I cannot dance like Vijay Thalapathy, I can't even dance like Atlee. So please don't make me do this. But he forced me to you know, I have to tell you Bhavna, I was doing this that I had red marks for three days. Thank you Shobi naru, for making the song it made me look so cool in the red shirt. God bless you. For you the word is attam podal," he said.
And concluded his speech by mentioning the whole women power of Jawan, firstly mentioning his heroine Nayanthara, "Nayanthara Ji she’s not here, she wanted to come but due to onam festivities she couldn’t but she gave all her love, she’s sent her love to all," he said.
