The film's director Atlee, recently opened up about his experience of directing Shah Rukh for the first time.

Atlee talks about directing Shah Rukh Khan

In an interview with Film Companion, Atlee was asked about his experience of directing Shah Rukh Khan in Jawan. He said that the process was enjoyable and he was very comfortable directing the actor. Atlee said: "If Aryan would have directed Shah Rukh sir..how comfortable he would have been, I have been in that zone. I was very very comfortable." 

In the same interview, he was also asked how he managed to make a Hindi film despite not knowing the language. The director stated, "See, a film is not bounded by language for sure. You can't restrict films by languages." Atlee further said that he faced no issues even though there was a language barrier.
