It is without a doubt that Shah Rukh Khan is a big fan of superstar Rajinikanth. Prior to his film Jawan's release, the actor had revealed in one of his AskSRK sessions that he had watched superstars Rajinikanth, Allu Arjun, Yash and Vijay's films to prep for the film. It so happened that a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan about his Jawan prep. "Did you see a lot of movies revolving around your role in Jawan to better prepare for it," SRK was asked. He replied, "I watched a lot of films of Atlee. Vijay sir, Allu Arjun ji, Rajni sir, Yash and loads of other stars to understand the language of expression for the world that was being created. And yes then prepped for my own character too Jawan."
