Shah Rukh Khan starrer 'Jawan' hit the theatres in September last year. It was SRK's second blockbuster after 'Pathaan' that released in the same year. Directed by Atlee, the action thriller also starred Vijay Sethupathi as the villain and Nayanthara who played Shah Rukh's love interest. Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani and Ridhi Dogra, among others, played pivotal roles. Deepika Padukone had a special cameo appearance in the film. 'Jawan' grossed over Rs 1000 crore worldwide. Recently, Red Chillies VFX shared a video where they gave us glimpses of the breakdown of the visual effects work that went on while making the film.

'Jawan' is the story of a police officer played by Shah Rukh Khan who is the warden of female prisoners. He with their help, pulls out socially conscious heists like kidnapping the health minister and not providing him medical treatment until all the government hospitals in India get the supplies they need.

The three-minute video takes us through various things like the prison where the action scenes were shot. It was partially constructed and was made appealing through visual effects. the exterior of the metro train was also entirely CG. The cottage where Vikram Rathore (Shah Rukh Khan) lived with his wife (Deepika Padukone) was also created with the help of VFX. The highlight of the video was that the cigar that Vikram smokes in 'Jawan' was also computer-generated. In the video, we also get to see that Khan performed some of his stunts himself, especially the truck heist sequence. Vikram's one shot on the bike was however computer-generated.
