Priyamani Recalls Her First Interaction With Shah Rukh Khan On The Sets Of Jawan

In an exclusive Pinkvilla interview with Himesh Mankad, Priyamani was asked about her momentous journey with Shah Rukh Khan from Chennai Express to Jawan and how her experience was, working with him again. She said, "I'm seeing him after 10 years so the journey has obviously been great. I had a great time shooting for Jawan and I still remember the first day of shoot was the metro sequence that we shot together. So we were all sitting in our respective make-up rooms and we were shooting it in the film city and all of a sudden, we were told, 'You are called on the sets because sir would like to meet all of you'. So when we all walked onto the set, he just came out of the train set and gave me the biggest and the warmest hug and he said, 'Thank you so much for being a part of this film. I'm so happy that you are here', and even during the shoot, during the hospital scene as well, we were all sitting together and he was like 'Oh my God, you're looking so good' and 'She's doing so good from Chennai Express. Mashallah, she's looking so nice'. It's great and I'm so happy and glad that I was part of such a wonderful film and I got to share screen space with Shah Rukh."
