He said, “Which has everything,” recalled the hitmaker. “I was very surprised to hear from a national superstar to say that my film has everything. Since then I was in love with him. Then I realised that I should give him something. He told me that ‘since the start of my career I wanted to be an action hero. I want to do a lot of actions. But unfortunately, I am stuck in a romantic one. But, now I want to do a clear action film’. That time I think he had one film with Rajkumar Hirani which is called Dunki,” Atlee added. On Jawan In an exclusive interview with Firstpost, the director revealed the idea behind the film and said, “My idea was to bring in the right emotion and that’s how we cried in the film, got motivated in the film and that’s how I got inspired by what I read on news while making the film. I think a film is not just about entertaining. You need to take something back home. I think we are taking back good emotions and that is the cause of Jawan’s success.” Read all the  Latest News,  Trending News,  Cricket News,  Bollywood News, India News and  Entertainment News here.
