After 'Jawan' received an overwhelming response from the audience on its opening day, Kangana Ranaut showered Shah Rukh Khan with praise. Via Instagram Stories, she extended her compliments to the entire 'Jawan' team and hailed Shah Rukh as the "cinematic deity that India requires."

Kangana shared a 'Jawan' poster along with a heartfelt note dedicated to Shah Rukh Khan. She penned, "From being the ultimate heartthrob of the nineties to facing a decade-long struggle to reconnect with his audience in his late forties and mid-fifties, and eventually emerging as the quintessential Indian mass superhero at almost 60 is nothing short of a superheroic journey, even in real life."

According to Kangana, Shah Rukh Khan's journey through adversity serves as a valuable lesson for fellow performers in the industry. She remarked, "I recall the time when people wrote him off and ridiculed his choices, but his struggle serves as a masterclass for all artists with enduring careers who must constantly reinvent and reestablish themselves. SRK is not just the cinematic icon known for his hugs and dimples; he's also the cinema God that India needs, capable of some profound world-saving too. Saluting your resilience, dedication, and humility, King Khan. @iamsrk."

Kangana concluded her message with a congratulatory note to the entire 'Jawan' team.
