Is Deepika a Lucky Mascot for SRK??

Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan share a lovely relationship, which has grown over the years. Deepika debuted with ‘Om Shanti Om’ with King Khan and later, this beautiful on-screen pair, has worked together in Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan and now Jawan.

Those who have watched Jawan, know Deepika’s special appearance is not just special, it has a great impact on audience’s heart. Her role has value in the film and fans cannot stop talking about her superb performance. Deepika, who was specially invited for the Jawan’s success meet in Mumbai, was initially shy to come on stage, but her favourite co-star, Shah Rukh made it a point, to welcome her on stage.

After Deepika’s sensational sultry look in Pathaan, no one could have ever dreamt of her role in Jawan, which is just the opposite. It was director, Atlee’s vision, which impressed Deepika to say yes, within minutes of the narration.

SRK also shared, that they had approached Deepika, when she was working on Besharam song in Pathaan. SRK’s manager, Pooja Dadlani, who was also present at the song’s shoot, had a discussion with Shah Rukh. He apparently asked Pooja to check if Deepika will do this. Deepika immediately said yes to the role of Aishwarya Rathore in Jawan.

Shah Rukh and Deepika’s pairing is something which people have liked from day one. They both have mentioned in their interviews, that they consider each other as family. During the press meet of Jawan, Shah Rukh says, “Deepika is a special friend and I am so happy that she has agreed to be part of this film. Deepika is a large hearted person.”

The beautiful actress has not charged anything for Jawan, she recently mentioned this, in one of her interviews. It surely looks like Deepika Padukone is the lucky mascot for Shah Rukh Khan.

While Pathaan had a dream run at the box office, grossing over ₹1000 crore worldwide, Jawan is close to breaching the ₹700 worldwide gross mark. The film was released on September 7.
