Actor Vijay Sethupathi has praised his Jawan co-star Shah Rukh Khan and called him a gentleman. In a new interview, Vijay Sethupathi also said that though he was nervous on the first day, Shah Rukh made him 'very comfortable'. He also recalled how Shah Rukh always encouraged him to discuss scenes with him. 

Jawan, directed by filmmaker Atlee, is billed as an event film with high-octane action sequences. It is produced by Shah Rukh's production company Red Chillies Entertainment. The film will release across five languages--Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada in theatres across the globe on June 2.

Speaking with Indian Express, Vijay said, "He was very sweet. It was a very good experience. I was a bit nervous on the first day, because he is a very big artiste, but he made me very comfortable. He didn't have a scene on that day, but he was there to make me feel comfortable. He is very sweet; I can discuss with him… He is a gentleman; I really had a good time with Shah Rukh sir."

Speaking with news agency PTI, Vijay also said, "I had a good time working on Jawan with Atlee and Shah Rukh sir. He (Shah Rukh) is a gentleman, he will never show that I am in the industry for so many years and I am the superstar. Like, how I work with my co-actors, I could discuss (scenes) with him the same way. And then sometimes I would say, 'sorry sir, if I disturb you', he would say, 'no Vijay, do it'. I was very comfortable with him and he is very sweet."
