Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has finished work on the Chennai schedule of his upcoming film Jawan. The actor also said veteran south superstar Rajinikanth, popularly called Thalaivar (‘leader’ in Tamil), had blessed the set of the Atlee directorial through his presence.

Shah Rukh, who shot for the movie here with co-stars Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi in a month-long schedule, said he had a “blast” working on the film, which is backed by his production banner Red Chillies Entertainment.

“Wot a 30 days blast, RCE team!

Thanks to @Atlee_dir & Priya for your hospitality; now you need to learn the Chicken 65 recipe! (sic)” the actor tweeted on Friday night.

Responding to his tweet, Atlee on Saturday said it was an “honour and pleasure” to host Shah Rukh in Chennai.

“… most memorable schedule in my career, spl thanks to u for having the shoot happen in Chennai sir,1000s of family were benefited ‘KING IS A KING ALWAYS’ a big bow & respect to you sir love you sir,” said the director, known for helming Tamil hits such as “Theri”, “Mersal”, and “Bigil” — all starring Vijay.
