The actor told the publication, “My first scene in the film was actually with SRK and it was amazing. I still can’t put it in words what it is like to mouth dialogues to Shah Rukh Khan and, to share that ‘give and take’ energy with him. He is so noble. He is so giving. And he makes everyone’s life so beautiful, making it easy for go through scenes.”
Interestingly, Eijaz had first worked with Shah Rukh was in 2000, when he was a part of Ganesh Hegde’s dance troupe. The Kkavyanjali actor had got an opportunity to do some skits with the superstar when the latter was performing in a tribute show for Raj Kapoor.

Expressing his gratitude for being a part of SRK starrer Jawan, he added, “Firstly, being a part of the universe itself is great. I have been a huge fan of Atlee and love how he married social context with entertainment without it going a little overboard or preachy.”
Jawan marks Atlee’s foray into Hindi cinema.
