"Deepika Padukone has a powerful character in Jawan, which features Shah Rukh in a double role as a father and son. She plays SRK’s wife and features in the film’s flashback sequences.

The Baahubali star Rana Daggubati has also joined the film's cast for an extended cameo appearance and might play a negative role in the film, as per the report.
