The film is ruling the international and domestic box office and became the fastest Hindi film to enter the $800 crore club globally. Delivering a blockbuster with his maiden Bollywood project, Atlee is much in demand, and this is just the start for him.

As immense love and adulation pour in from all corners for Shah Rukh, Atlee, and the film, the prolific filmmaker has expressed his wish to see his film at the Oscars.

Atlee wants to take Jawan to the Oscars

Atlee has many Tamil superhits to his credit, and with Jawan, he has established a strong hold in Bollywood. While the film is taking the world by storm, the filmmaker has expressed his desire to take Jawan to a global level and push his movie to the prestigious Oscar.

Speaking to ETimes in an interview, Atlee was asked if he would want to take Jawan to the Academy Awards; he said he wanted to and joked that he would discuss the same with Shah Rukh Khan.

He said, "Of course, even Jawan should go, if everything falls in place. I think every effort, everybody, every director, every technician who is working in cinema, their eyes are on the Golden Globes, Oscars, National Awards, every award."

"So, definitely, yeah, I would also love to take Jawan to the Oscars. Let's see. I think Khan sir will watch and read this interview. I will also ask him over a call, 'Sir, should we take this film to the Oscars?'" he added.

Atlee on Jawan sequel

Talking about Jawan sequel, Atlee stated, "I have still not come out of Jawan. So, generally, every film of mine has an open end. Right from Raja Rani to Bigil and Jawan. Every film has its own open ending."

He then said, "I have never ever thought, okay, I have to do two. But yeah, in Jawan, now everyone is asking about the sequel. Wherever I go, everyone is asking, when is Jawan 2 releasing? So, it's good curiosity coming from the audience. Let me come out of Jawan first and then let me think if I am going to do the next one."
