Shah Rukh Khan's much-awaited film 'Jawan' landed in controversy a day before its release, with calls for boycott trending on social media. Backlash stems from the involvement of producer Udhayanidhi Stalin who recently made inflammatory remarks comparing Hinduism to mosquitoes. Despite record advance bookings, #BoycottJawan trended as some demanded boycott over Stalin's role as a key distributor. The multilingual film directed by Atlee stars SRK along with Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi. Stalin's controversial statement sparked outrage, though he remained unapologetic. The boycott calls have cast a shadow on the film's prospects despite strong buzz.
