Shah Rukh Khan‘s Jawan has become the biggest Hindi opener film of all time by collecting a whopping Rs 75 crore on its opening day, including Hindi, Tamil and Telugu versions. SRK plays a double role in the Atlee directorial and the superstar’s body double Prashant Walde helped the superstar stand out against all odds.
Prashant, who has been working as SRK’s body double for 17 years, recently shared an interesting anecdote about shooting for sequences where he and Shah Rukh Khan are sharing screen space in a double frame.
Spilling some on-set secrets, Prashant told AajTak that there is a scene where Shah Rukh is hugging his lookalike father and a very interesting incident happened during the shoot. When SRK was in his young getup, Prashant was in the form of old SRK and vice versa.
This was done in order to take only SRK’s close-up shots with the camera. Prashant added that SRK sported different looks in Jawan due to which they had to prepare every day. He mentioned that only two looks were shot in a day.

Jawan has beaten the record of this year’s previous mega SRK starrer Pathaan to notch up the highest-ever domestic opening day collection for a Hindi film. It stars some of the biggest stars from south India like Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi, and also features Deepika Padukone (in a special appearance), Priyamani and Sanya Malhotra.
The film went housefull on the first day of its release in its early morning show, and even went on to create mass hysteria among fans.
