During the success celebration for Jawan in Mumbai, Shah Rukh Khan shared a comical incident involving Deepika Padukone that left everyone amused. Before Jawan, the actors starred together in Pathaan and featured in the film’s steamy song “Besharam Rang,” which left many in awe of their onscreen chemistry. Ironically, it was during the shooting of this steamy number that Shah Rukh Khan had an unexpected realisation that Deepika could play the role of his mother in Jawan.
Shah Rukh Khan said, “Deepika was doing Besharam Rang. I will not lie, I saw her doing Besharam Rang and I felt she will be good as a mother. So, I asked Pooja (his manager Pooja Dadlani), ‘kya yeh maa ka role karegi?‘ She said, ‘Shah she loves you too much, of course.’ I’ll tell you honestly. Pooja must have gone to her for 2 seconds and immediately she came back saying, ‘ya she will do it’. Deepika said whenever you say I will come and do it.'”
