Netflix drops SRK birthday bomb, 'Jawan' extended cut released worldwide

On Shah Rukh Khan’s 58th birthday, Netflix has dropped the extended version of ‘Jawan’ in Hindi, Telugu and Tamil.

Fans of SRK are in for a surprise as Jawan is now streaming exclusively on Netflix. Jawan, a Red Chillies Entertainment movie directed by Atlee, produced by Gauri Khan, and co-produced by Gaurav Verma was released worldwide in theatres on September 7, 2023.

Netflix has released a humorous ad starring SRK as Azad Rathore from Jawan along with his girl gang. In the ad, SRK amusingly calls Netflix, threatening them to release Jawan on his birthday instead of the initially scheduled weekend launch. Following a banter-filled exchange, Netflix eventually accedes to the early release request. The ad concludes with SRK announcing, “A gift for you on my birthday, watch Jawan streaming on Netflix.”
