According to news reports, "Jawan" was pirated and made available on multiple online platforms within hours of its release. Previously, Shah Rukh Khan's last film, "Pathaan" also encountered piracy issues, hours before its release.
As per expert predictions, "Jawan" is expected to cross Rs 75 crore in box office collections on its opening day. However, piracy poses a significant threat to its box office performance.
Moreover, several online platforms have featured film-review themed videos, which could further impact the theatre engagement of "Jawan".
