Sanya Malhotra played Eram in Jawan.
Sanya Malhotra said she noticed that Shah Rukh Khan was bruised and then realized the whole cast had bruises.
Sanya Malhotra is currently enjoying the record-breaking success of her latest film Jawan, headlined by superstar Shah Rukh Khan. Sanya essayed the role of Eram, a doctor who joins Shah Rukh’s gang of girls to set society straight. She also features with Shah Rukh in some songs of the film like Zinda Banda. In a recent interview, she revealed that Shah Rukh had sustained an injury while shooting for the track.
Talking to ETimes, Sanya said, “On the second day of the shoot I noticed that Shah Rukh Khan had got a bruise, but he was going on and on. And I told him that he had got a bruise on his hand, and then all of us checked our hands and saw that we all had bruises. That was a bit surreal.”
Talking about working with Shah Rukh, Sanya described him as a calm, cool man. “He is so good. He is easy. He’s talking to people and as well as listening to their stories. He never went back to his vanity to chill. It was so hot outside when we were shooting for Zinda Banda. Anyone would have gotten tired, but sir did not stop. All of us, girls, were excited to be dancing alongside Shah Rukh Khan,” she said.
Sanya added, “It was a pinch-me moment for everyone. I wanted to rush back to the hotel and call my mother and tell her, ‘Mamma maine Shah Rukh sir ke sath kaam kiya, bilkul sath me khade hokar (Mom, I have worked with Shah Rukh Khan).’ It’s unbelievable. Neither did he stop nor did he ask to change the step. He completely surrenders to the vision.”
The Atlee directorial film was released in theatres on September 7 amid much anticipation. It also features stellar performances by Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone among others.
