SRK said that he met Atlee during the making of Bigil and that they had a good rapport. "We spent some time together and he was showing me this film just out of love because his wife and he really like me a lot," SRK said.

After the pandemic, Atlee approached SRK again with the film and this time, the actor was more interested. "He just came to see me in Mumbai and he said, 'I have a film' and I found it very interesting. The first line he told me for the film was this 'it is you sir with five girls. My wife and I really feel that you look the nicest when you have a bunch of ladies with you in a film,'" SRK said.

SRK also revealed that the moment he decided to do 'Jawan' was when he saw the shot of himself as the bald hero. "There is a shot where I am introduced as the bald hero and I remember Atlee putting a lot of powder in my hand and I think I sneezed also doing that shot, but when I finally saw the shot, and that’s my moment for doing Jawan," SRK said.

SRK also shared why he loves doing "cool action films." He said that his youngest son AbRam Khan loves cool films with action, anime, and superheroes and he wants to do cool action films for him.
