Jawan: Shah Rukh Khan's GRAND Dubai Promotion STRATEGY; Exciting Surprises Await UAE Fans Alongside Trailer Launch (Details Inside)
‘Jawan’, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi, is poised to be one of the standout Indian films of 2023. To maintain the high levels of anticipation, Red Chillies Entertainment's marketing team is leaving no stone unturned. Fans eagerly await the trailer's release, and while they'll have to exercise a bit more patience, Shah Rukh Khan has strategic plans to promote ‘Jawan’, particularly in key markets like Dubai. The team will spend a few days in the city to boost the movie's visibility. Given Khan's substantial residence on the island, it's expected that the ‘Jawan’ crew will enjoy his renowned hospitality. But prior to that, Middle East fans can anticipate a double delight.

The trailer for ‘Jawan’ will be unveiled on none other than the iconic Burj Khalifa, the tallest building globally. Shah Rukh Khan's close affiliation with Emaar Properties, the entity responsible for the tower, solidifies this choice. In the past, both the trailers for ‘Pathaan’ and '83’ were revealed on this impressive landmark. Considering the Middle East is a pivotal market for Khan, this move is strategic. Reports from an entertainment news source have also hinted at the release of an Arabic version of the song ‘Chaleya’ in Dubai, amplifying the excitement. The possibility of Nayanthara joining Shah Rukh Khan, along with Atlee, adds to the anticipation. An Arabic version of the song featured in ‘Pathaan’ as well, sung by Abd El Fattah Grini and Jamalia El Badaoui.
‘Pathaan’ garnered a remarkable USD 14.4 million in the UAE, equivalent to around Rs 120 crores. With ‘Jawan’, the expectations are even higher. Pre-sales for tickets have already surpassed 3,000 in various regions, amassing a total of USD 45K thus far. The film still has 7 days until release, suggesting that it could surpass ‘Pathaan's’ earnings. Shah Rukh Khan's role as the brand ambassador of Dubai tourism further cements his connection with the city.

Indian filmmakers, including the likes of SS Rajamouli, have shown enthusiasm for overseas promotions. A prime example is the extensive international promotion tour for ‘RRR’. Notably, ‘Pathaan’ outperformed Tom Cruise's ‘Mission Impossible’ in terms of revenue in Dubai. Khan's reputation for astute business decisions suggests that this endeavor could be yet another strategic triumph.
