After ruling the worldwide Box Office with his first collaboration with SRK, the young filmmaker confirmed that he is definitely eyeing an Academy Award for his film, enjoying a blockbuster run in theatres.
When asked about the idea in a recent interview, Atlee said, “Of course, even Jawan should go, if everything falls in place. I think every effort, everybody, every director, every technician who is working in cinema, their eyes are on the Golden Globes, Oscars, National Awards, every award. So, definitely, yeah, I would love to take Jawan to the Oscars.”
