Jawan Was The 8th Movie Where SRK Had A Double Role But The First Movie Which Achieved This

Shah Rukh Khan is an actor so big that fans can never get enough of him. Over his career, he has explored a wide range of characters, including playing double roles in a number of films. Shah Rukh added another double-role movie to his repertoire with Jawan, but it came with a unique distinction.

Before Jawan, SRK had already played a dual role in seven movies. He is one of the biggest draws in the industry but still takes on challenges to experiment with movies. In his dual roles, he has played father-son, hero-villain, reincarnations, celebrity-fan, and even human-robot. This is something that probably only Shah Rukh Khan could have pulled off.

Jawan was the first movie where Shah Rukh Khan had a dual role, and both the characters survived

Shah Rukh Khan’s double-role films have given him ample opportunities to showcase his versatility. Before Jawan, the actor had featured in seven movies with dual roles, all of which involved one character meeting a tragic fate. In Duplicate (1998), Khan played Bablu, a lovable chef, and Manu, a dangerous criminal, who was shot dead in the climax. Similarly, while Don thrives in Don (2006), the original Vijay (Don’s doppelgänger) is revealed to have passed away.
