The Jawan team, including actors Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi, and the director Atlee wrapped up the Chennai schedule of the actioner recently. The Pathaan actor summed up his thirty days of shooting for the film in the capital of Tamil Nadu with a tweet in which he shared that the legendary actor Rajinikanth visited the sets and Thalapathy Vijay fed him delicious food.
Shah Rukh's tweet read, "Wot a 30 days blast RCE team! Thalaivar blessed our sets…saw movie with Nayanthara partied with @anirudhofficial deep discussions with @VijaySethuOffl & Thalapathy @actorvijay fed me delicious food.

Quote-tweeting him, Atlee said that it was a pleasure to have him in Chennai as he called it the 'most memorable' schedule in his career. He even thanked the Chennai Express actor for agreeing to shoot the upcoming film in Chennai as it benefitted thousands of families. "King is a King always', he wrote in his tweet and added that he will soon meet the Swades actor in Mumbai, implying that the next schedule of Jawan will be held in India's financial capital.
