Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan' Off To Strong Advance Booking In The USA

Mumbai, August 18 - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his next blockbuster, action thriller "Jawan" which is scheduled to release on September 7. Directed by Atlee Kumar, the movie is a hotly-awaited Pan India movie that is expected to be a big box office winner.

The movie is less than four weeks away from its worldwide release and the advance booking has already started opening in some of the international markets. The early overseas pre-sales of the movie are highly encouraging and are better than SRK's recent blockbuster "Pathaan" in many territories.



In the USA, "Jawan" is off to a very good start and has already sold approximately 10430 tickets worth $161.40K from 385 locations, according to Venky Reviews, as of 9 AM, August 24 (IST). The locations and shows will be increased in the coming days as the movie is projected to take a bigger start than Pathaan in the USA.

Pathaan grossed approx. $1.85 million on the opening day in North America, and Jawan will be looking to outgross that number comfortably. The other markets where advances have opened are also painting similar pictures (numbers will be updated soon). Overall, the trade is expecting Jawan to take the overseas opening of around 50 crores which will be the biggest Bollywood opening ever, beating Pathaan which grossed 37 crores on the opening day overseas.

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, Jawan tells the story of a person who sets out to rectify the wrongs in society with help from a group of women. It stars Shah Rukh Khan in a dual role, alongside Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, and Sanya Malhotra while Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Dutt play special appearances.

Jawan will release on September 7 in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, in 2D as well as in IMAX format.
