Jawan director Atlee speaks over allegation of copying Batman scene

Recently-released Jawan movie has become a fan and critic favorite in recent times. Since its release on September 7, the fans have found it interesting and eye-opening for everyone. The film is about to enter the 1000 crores INR club. Meanwhile, the film has been accused of copying scenes from Batman. Apparently, just like Batman, the lead actor, Shah Rukh Khan used a mask to hide his appearance.

However, the masks used in Batman and Jawan are opposite and different to each other. Meanwhile, Speaking to Film Companion, Atlee addressed the same and said, “I know people will say that, but I am not taking from there. I have done Mersal, I have a wrestling scene in it, which is there in Jawan as well. I know that and it’s ok, both are my films. But when it comes to other films, for example Bane from Batman. I want to cover the face of an actor in a film, which I want to reveal in the next part, so what mask can I go for?

He added, “I have one half skull mask, one full bandaged mask, the entire film is about masks only, so I went with the mask that was designed by my production designer. That’s all. It was nice. If they call it Bane, that’s fine, that is a good reference.”

Talking about the movie, it touches upon different social and political issues across India. The political parties across India have claimed that the film indirectly urges people to vote for them in the next year’s General election.
