Doh bacchon ki maa hain woh (Shut up! She's mom to two young kids)!! Ha ha. #Jawan.(sic)" Shah Rukh Khan also showered praises on Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi and his performance as the villain in Jawan. He posted, "@VijaySethuOffl he is such an amazing person and actor. Really want everyone to see his subtle nuances and histrionics in the film. Too good. (sic)".

A section of Shah Rukh Khan's fans held a special screening of Chennai Express (2013) in 50 North Indian cities, with the actor mentioning it was a lovely experience ten years ago. He added that there's a new Chennai Express loading now in the form of Jawan with Atlee, Vijay Sethupathi, Anirudh, Nayanthara, dance choreographer Shobhi, and fight master Anl Arasu. The actor also went on to reveal that his favorite Jawan song is titled 'Chaleya', which he informed is "romantic and sweet and gentle..." like him while complimenting Anirudh saying he "has excelled". Declaring that the upcoming film too will be getting a "full 3D IMAX version", SRK hoped that he gets a place in the hearts of his fans in South India. Upon being asked whether he'd watch 'Superstar' Rajinikanth's Jailer, the Pathaan star said, "Of course I love Rajni sir….Maassss!! He had come on Jawan set and blessed us too. (sic)" Shah Rukh Khan concluded his AMA session answering a question about Jawan director Atlee and whether he could dance. He posted, "@Atlee_dir he can dance and make everyone dance also to his tunes. Now time to get to work everyone. Have A good day. Be happy…thanks for joining #AskSRK & remember ‘jab main villain Banta hoon na….’ Ha ha ha ha( evil laughter) love u all. #Jawan (sic)".
