Is Shah Rukh’s 'Jawan' Copied From Tamil Films 'Thaai Naadu' And 'Arrambam'? Internet Thinks So

Shah Rukh Khan’s latest film Jawan is breaking records at the box office. The Atlee directorial has entered the Rs 200 crore club globally and isn’t stopping anytime soon. Where the country celebrates the story on-screen, several internet users think that the movie has been sourced from some prominent existing films.

Especially, Jawan’s resemblance to Tamil films 'Thaai Naadu' And 'Arrambam' is uncanny!

One user took to Twitter and shared how the plotline of Jawan is very similar to the 1989 Tamil release Thaai Naadu (motherland). That film also starred Sathyaraj in a double role exactly how Shah Rukh plays father and son in Jawan. Others claimed that Atlee is good at copying Tamil films and this is certainly not the first time.

The south filmmaker was earlier accused of plagiarism when his film Bigil (2019) arrived in theatres. Telugu short-filmmaker Nandi Chinni Reddy had accused Atlee of plagiarising the outline of his film, Slum Soccer. Other than this, his 2017 film with Thalapathy Vijay and Samantha Ruth Prabhu was accused of being a copy of Rajinikanth's Moondru Mugam.

Yet again, Atlee’s 2016 film Theri was accused of copying Vijaykanth's film Chatriyan.

Not just these films, the internet is flooded with several other films from which Jawan has sourced its story. There are cut-to-cut pictures from both original and copied references to prove what a fine copy this film is. One user wrote, “It's old wine in a New bottle, ageing of wine matters, guess the audience likes anything that is a cocktail if the bartender is good at mixing it.”
