Shahrukh Khan’s latest action thriller with Atlee Kumar debuted huge at the Box Office earlier this week, scoring the highest worldwide opening for a Hindi film with ticket sales of INR129 crore on the first day.
Apart from the Box Office success, the film has been a constant topic of discussion across various social media platforms. However, apart from talking about the SRK frenzy, some users of the micro-blogging site have also pointed out the similarities in the film’s plotline to that of a 1989 Tamil release, ‘Thaai Naadu’, starring veteran actor Sathyaraj.
Taking to the micro-blogging site X, formerly termed Twitter, a social user alleged that the young South Indian filmmaker copied the story of ‘Thaai Naadu’ for his film ‘Jawan’. With a poster of the old film, the tweep wrote in Tamil, “Jawaan Original Tamil Version – 1989.”
Many of his followers went on to support the claim that SRK’s film was copied, while a number of them expressed their disappointment with ‘Jawan’, which apparently is a mix of multiple South hits.
Apart from Khan, Atlee’s action thriller also featured Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Priyamani, Deepika Padukone and Sanya Malhotra.
