Jawan Trailer Launched: Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘baap se baat kar’ Dialogue Linked to Aryan Khan-Sameer Wankhede Case
A particular line delivered by Shah Rukh Khan in the Jawan movie trailer has captured widespread interest due to its self-referential context: “Before touching my son, have a word with me, the father.”
Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan’s film “Pathaan” was replete with meta allusions to patriotism and his own religious background. The recently unveiled trailer of his upcoming movie, “Jawan,” directed by Atlee, suggests that this action-packed thriller might continue in the same vein. One specific line from the trailer has garnered significant online attention due to its implicit connection to the Aryan Khan arrest case.
Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Baap’ Dialogue
The narrative of “Jawan” is speculated to center around a paternal bond, featuring Shah Rukh in a dual role as father and son. In a key moment from the trailer, Shah Rukh’s character as the father delivers the line- “Bete ko haath lagane se pahle, baap se baat kar” (Deal with the father before you touch the son)
Naturally, this has prompted online discussions drawing parallels to Shah Rukh’s real-life situation when his son Aryan Khan faced arrest in 2021 for alleged drug possession. The investigation spanned several weeks due to the gravity of the offense, culminating in his eventual release on bail. Subsequently, Aryan was exonerated, amid allegations that Sameer Wankhede, the investigating officer in the case, sought a bribe from Shah Rukh.

Another posted, “This can’t be a coincidence, right? Right when #ShahRukhKhan says ‘bete ko haath lagaane se pehle, baap se baat kar’, Gauri’s credit flashes on screen. Subtle message to…some people?”
A third user wrote, more creatively, used a collage with memes of Sameer Wankhede. Another posted, “#ShahRukhKhan Giving Proper Belt Treatment To His Haters, Boycott Gang!! (two fire emojis) ‘Bete Ko Hath Lagane Se Pehle Baap Se Baat Kar’ #JawanTrailer”
