Why the security has been given

Reportedly, Shah Rukh Khan has received many threats after the success of his two movies that came out this year- _Pathaan_ and _Jawan_. The intelligence reports state that the threat to his life has increased significantly, hence the Y security has been provided. Khan will pay for his security.

In India, private security cannot be armed with sophisticated weapons that’s why it has to be police security.

About _Jawan_

Despite the arrival of several new releases, Shah Rukh Khan starrer Jawan continues to shatter records at the ticket windows. The pan-India massy actioner has now entered the Rs 600 crore in the domestic market and has become the first Bollywood to achieve this feat.

The film raked in around Rs 12 crore yesterday and currently stands with a grand total of more than Rs 610 crore (all versions).

Looking at the current scenario, the film is expected to cross Rs 650 crore by the end of its 5th weekend at the box office. While the film has inaugurated the Rs 600 crore club, it would be interesting whether it invents the Rs 700 crore club or not.
