After ‘Pathaan’, the craze for Shah Rukh Khan‘s ‘Jawan’ is at its peak. The film will be released in cinemas on September 7 but this wait seems to be quite extensive for the fans. The advance bookings for ‘Jawan’ began in international circuits including the US, UAE, Australia, and Saudi Arabia, among others, but in India, only a few theatres in Mumbai opened it. But it was beyond the expectations that the tickets would be sold out at such breakneck speed.
Some reports suggest that tickets for ‘Jawan’ were sold out within 15 minutes including ones priced as high as Rs 1100 were purchased by the moviegoers.
As per a portal named Sacnilk.com, the film has already collected Rs 1.2 crore in advance bookings in the United States.
