Atlee ropes in six action directors for Jawan, including stunt choreographers of Captain America and Dunkirk
Letty Mariam Abraham (MID-DAY; August 22, 2023)
Shah Rukh Khan may not have done many action films in the past, but Pathaan’s mammoth success has proved that the audience loves him in the genre. Now, director Atlee is upping the ante with Jawan. Sources tell us that Atlee has roped in six action directors — Spiro Razatos, Yannick Ben, Craig Macrae, Kecha Khamphakdee, Sunil Rodrigues and Anal Arasu.
Hollywood action director Razatos has worked on The Fate of the Furious (2017) and Captain America: Civil War (2016), while Ben is known as a seasoned Parkour tutor, choreographing action in Transporter 3 (2008) and Dunkirk (2017). Macrae is the mind behind the set-pieces in Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015). Khamphakdee, who won the National Award for Baahubali 2: The Conclusion (2017), was an obvious choice for Atlee, as was Rodrigues after collaborating with Khan in Pathaan. The director was equally impressed by Arasu’s work in Sultan (2016).
A source shares that varied forms of action will be on display in the Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi-starrer. “Jawan [will] include hand-to-hand combat, bike sequences, and truck and car chases. These action set-pieces add to Atlee’s vision of making a tentpole action entertainer.”
