Jawan, an Indian blockbuster directed by Atlee, features a star-studded cast, including Nayanthara and Deepika Padukone. Nayanthara expressed disappointment over her role's treatment.
Atlee-directed ‘Jawan’ has been a tremendous success in India. The movie has been roaring at the box office. The film boasts an incredible cast, including Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Vijay Sethupathi, Shah Rukh Khan and more.
In ‘Jawan’, Nayanthara plays the lead role while Deepika Padukone makes a special appearance that is truly captivating and beautiful.
Meanwhile, according to Hindustan Times report, Nayanthara is unhappy with director Atlee's treatment of her character in the movie. She feels that he focused more on Deepika's role, and it has reportedly left her dissatisfied.
In the film, Shah Rukh Khan plays a dual role as a father and a son. And, Nayanthara plays the role of a determined police officer who unknowingly gets romantically involved with the son.
Deepika, on the other hand, appears briefly in a flashback sequence as the wife of the older Shah Rukh.
According to the source, as reported by Hindustan Times, she is disappointed because her role in the movie was significantly reduced while Deepika's character was given more prominence. Despite being the female lead, it seemed that the movie focused more on Deepika and Shah Rukh Khan, side-lining Nayanthara.
This experience has left Nayanthara upset and there are indications that she may not consider taking on more Bollywood projects in the near future.
On the other hand, ‘Jawan’ continues to perform exceptionally well at the box office. In less than two weeks, the film has grossed a staggering Rs 900 crore worldwide with over Rs 500 crore domestic collection alone.
