Jawan has also achieved the distinction of being the fastest Bollywood movie to reach the Rs 500 crore mark at the global box office, as reported by Sacnilk. As of Sunday, the film had amassed approximately Rs 530 crore worldwide.

Mukesh Chhabra, the casting director of Jawan, revealed in an interview that it took over a year to complete the casting for the film. He explained, “More than a year was spent on it. We had to find new people, and get everyone on board on given dates. We had to block them for more than 100 days so the coordination also takes a lot of time. All big films take time, again I mention the example of Dangal and Dunki, or PK and Sanju. Your work can’t be done within three months.”
