Best Director Nominee
Atlee
In 2019, Atlee embarked on the directorial journey of Jawan after a surprising call from Red Chillies Entertainment. Despite initial scepticism, Atlee infused the film with his signature emotional depth and a compelling social message. Starring Shah Rukh Khan as Vikram, the film addresses societal injustices, depicting a relentless mission against the antagonist Kalee. Jawan confronts corrupt politics, farmer struggles, and healthcare system flaws, advocating for citizen empowerment through the impactful use of the index finger in elections.
