Vijay Ghelani, who had a minor role in Jawan, termed the movie ‘worst experience on movie set’. Shah Rukh Khan played the titular role in the film.
Viraj has recently opened up about his experience of working in SRK and Nayanthara starrer. During the podcast, The Having Said That Show, this content creator stated that he did not like the work atmosphere at the film sets because he was spoken to rudely.
Viraj, while speaking about working in the Atlee-directorial, said, “Don’t talk. F**k. Why did I do it? People are very sweet who watched the film for me that I watched your part. But it was my worst experience ever. Because see the thing is… they don’t consider you because they have Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan and two Shah Rukh Khans and all those things. The work culture was ‘yahan khada ho ja, yeh kar le’. There was this scene where in the close ups I have a gun because I am a cop and then they go for a wide shot. Then I said that prop guy has taken my gun. They said gun will come to you, stand here. I was like okay. But the gun never came.”
He further said, “They were like, f**k that. I came and I went. I am just a blurred image in the background. I had proper dialogues. I had shot for 10 days in Madh Island in the heat of May. Then suddenly, I see that whatever we had worked on for 15 days, they only used what we shot during the first 30 minutes on the first day. Creators are cast for their clout only.”
The film also featured a special appearance by Sanjay Dutt.
