Jawan Day arrived with great excitement as Shah Rukh Khan's latest film, "Jawan," hit theaters worldwide. However, amidst the celebrations, there was an unfortunate twist. The film became a victim of piracy just hours after its release, causing distress among fans and raising concerns about its box office performance.
Shortly after its theatrical release, the pirated version of "Jawan" surfaced on Telegram and Torrent websites, making it easily accessible to anyone with an internet connection. This piracy issue raised significant concerns in the entertainment industry.
Fans of Shah Rukh Khan expressed their disappointment and worry about the film's leaked version. Some fans were concerned that the leak could negatively impact the movie's collection and overall performance. A frustrated fan took to Twitter, pleading with Shah Rukh Khan to address the situation and prevent further damage to the film's success. One individual took the matter a step further by tagging Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur and Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter, highlighting the need for stronger anti-piracy measures. The leaking of movies online has been a long-standing issue, causing significant financial losses for the film industry.
Despite the piracy setback, "Jawan" had generated significant excitement with its advance bookings. Trade experts predicted the film could earn a whopping 700 million rupees on its opening day, potentially surpassing the box office record set by SRK's previous release, "Pathaan," in 2023.
