Shah Rukh Khan is rewriting box office records, and how. His latest actioner Jawan is on a spree of breaking records, and renowned businessman Anand Mahindra declared Shah Rukh Khan as India's 'natural resource'. A day after Jawan's release, Anand Mahindra shared his thoughts about SRK's rule at the box office on Twitter.
On Friday, The Chairman of The Mahindra Group, Anand Mahindra wrote on the social networking site, "All countries guard their natural mineral resources and mine them and usually export them to earn forex.

Soon Anand's tweet went viral, and SRK fans thanked him for praising their idol. An internet user wrote, "These words are bigger than movie collections/ awards. Legend praising legend. Respect is all that you can earn. Hope you loved #jawan like all of us sir." Another internet user wrote, "Many actors will come, and many will succeed but perhaps, SRK is the last of the stars. He has taken stardom to the next level. I have not watched many of his movies but the way he conducts himself is appreciable."
After giving a perfect start to Bollywood in 2023 with Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan broke his own records with Jawan. The Atlee-directed actioner has taken a monstrous start at the box office and became the highest-opener for a Hindi film. Trade analyst Taran Adarsh shared the official collection on his Twitter and declared that Jawan has collected Rs 65.50 crores on day one. These figures are the domestic collection of the Hindi version.
On Twitter, Taran wrote, "JAWAN’ IS SENSATIONAL… CREATES HISTORY… #Jawan hits the ball out of the stadium, SHATTERS *ALL* PREVIOUS RECORDS… BIGGEST OPENER [#Hindi films] in #India… *Day 1* biz… #Jawan: ₹ 65.50 cr (19.09% HIGHER than #Pathaan)."
