And now on Saturday evening, the makers finally announced the new release date of Shah Rukh Khan, the Atlee film will release in theatres on September 7.

SRK hosts ASK SRK reveals why the makers decided to postpone the film

Minutes after announcing the new release date of Jawan, SRK once again delighted his fans with an impromptu ASK SRK session, where King Khan answered most of his fans' questions pertaining to various topics, be it the exorbitant price of his son Aryan Khan's brand D'Yavol X to why he postponed Jawan and some of best wittiest virtues and saying by SRK that is pure gold.

During an Ask SRK session on Twitter, a fan asked the superstar's reaction to the postponement of the film.

When someone asked him what he liked the most about Jawan, SRK said, "For me at least it's a new kind of genre. An Atlee special and the marriage of trying to bring two ways of making films in tandem. #Jawan."

To this, SRK tweeted, "Everybody was working without a break and pushing themselvesâ€æso a bit relieved that all can do their job with more ease now. #Jawan #7thSeptember2023 (sic)."

A fan asked, @iamsrk Sir, apke film arijit singh ji ka gaana nhi ho to film complete nhi lagta.. Is film me unka gaana hai kya? (Will your film have Jawaan have songs sung by Arijit Singh?)

To which SRK said, "Absolutely Arijit always!! #Jawan"

A user asked SRK about the flabbergasting price of DyavolX jackets and T shirts which costs more than 50,000.

He tweeted, SRK ye dyavol x ke jacket thoda sa 1000- 2000 wale bhi bana do.... Wo wale khareedne me to ghar chala jayega #AskSRK" ( The Dyavolx jackets are very costly, if you could reduce the price to1000- 2000."

To which SRK replied, "Yeh D'Yavol X wale log mujhe bhi sasti nahi bech rahe....kuch karta hoon..!! #Jawan."

(Yeh D'yavol X people are nit giving me also in cheaper rates. I will try something.)

A user asked, "#AskSRK you are such a big superstar. What makes you so humble? #jawan"

SRK replied, "If u can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch." Humility & love is forever, all other things are transitory."

Another asked, "Do you think it's important to put your own money in VFX heavy projects such as #Jawan ?"

To which SRK replied, "You should put your money where your mouth is...one has to believe that Dream merchants should create cinema that feels like an event worth the audience's time and money"

A user asked, "Sir, why are you missing in the poster? #Jawan #AskSRK"

On the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan will also be seen in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki, co-starring Taapsee Pannu.
