Pathaan has become the biggest blockbuster of Indian cinema with its huge box office collection that has set the world on fire. All eyes are now on Shah Rukh Khan’s most awaited project, Jawan with Atlee Kumar. Can Jawan beat Pathaan at the box office? Is Jawan going to be bigger than Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan? These are the questions that you will get the answers to only after the release of Jawan on 2nd June 2023. However is Jawan bigger than Pathaan when it comes to budget and the overall cost of the film is the question that can be answered right now as the details of Pathaan and Jawan budget are out.
Pathaan vs Jawan Budget
Jawan is made on a massive budget of Rs 200 Crores. Shah Rukh Khan starrer action thriller is produced by his wife Gauri Khan under the banner of Red Chillies Entertainment production house. According to an estimate, around Rs 80 Crores of this budget of Jawan is spent on the salaries of Shah Rukh Khan and others.
On the other hand, Pathaan was made on a whopping budget of Rs 225 Crores. Clearly, the budget of Pathaan is Rs 25 Crores more than the budget of Jawan. Pathaan is produced by Aditya Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It has become a box office phenomenon to register the highest ever worldwide box office collection for an Indian movie. However, that statement is only true if we do not include the box office collection of Indian movies in China. Overall, the box office collection of Dangal is significantly more than Pathaan when the earnings of China are included.
Pathaan starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia and Ashutosh Rana in the lead roles. It also features a cameo from Salman Khan. On the other hand, Jawan stars Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani, Sanya Malhotra, Sunil Grover, Yogi Babu and Riddhi Dogra in the lead roles. The action thriller also features the cameo of Deepika Padukone, Thalapathy Vijay and Sanjay Dutt. Clearly, the cast of Jawan is much more interesting and diverse but it can’t beat the stardom of Pathaan due to the cameo of Salman Khan.
The Rs 200 Crores budget of Jawan makes it necessary for the film to be a blockbuster like Pathaan. If the film fails to earn huge cash at the box office then it can possibly turn into one of the biggest flops as well. However, the buzz is high for the film and you can expect it to surpass its budget easily at the box office. Pathaan has earned a massive sum of around Rs 1100 Crores at the box office against a budget of Rs 225 Crores. Jawan will need to do better than this to beat Pathaan.
