The ‘Chaleya’ fever is here to stay, as Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic song from ‘Jawan’ set the tone at a press conference for the film held in Mumbai last Friday. The event, attended by Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Vijay Sethupathi, director Atlee, Sunil Grover, Sanya Malhotra, and other stars of the movie, was organized to celebrate the massive success of ‘Jawan.’ The highlight of the evening was a lively performance of ‘Chaleya’ by Shah Rukh Khan, who was joined by Deepika Padukone, and together they danced to the beats of Anirudh Ravichander’s melody. Interestingly, in the film, ‘Chaleya’ was picturized on SRK and Nayanthara, who were absent from the event.
Released in theaters on September 7, ‘Jawan’ has garnered widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences. Videos from the press meet have gone viral, with Deepika Padukone stunning in a white saree with black borders and a matching halter neck blouse. Shah Rukh Khan, with his braided hairdo, also grabbed everyone’s attention.
On Thursday, Anirudh shared a video of himself playing the piano and singing ‘Chaleya’ on his social media platform. In the caption, Anirudh wrote, “It’s been a while… here’s your favorite ‘Chaleya.'” Shah Rukh Khan, who has been actively responding to appreciation posts, reshared the video and penned an affectionate note for Anirudh, saying, “I have to dance to this while you sing it, beta. And if I mess up the steps, you instantly change the rhythm to make me look good! I know you can work magic like that… love you.”
Just a few days ago, South actor Keerthy Suresh showcased her dance moves to ‘Chaleya’ alongside director Atlee’s wife, Priya. The video featured Keerthy and Priya synchronizing their steps, with Atlee making a cameo appearance in the background along with his pet dog. Keerthy captioned the reel, “Just for fun! Don’t miss the end (Sometimes I just get too excited).”
From celebrities to fans, numerous dance videos to ‘Chaleya’ have been circulating on the internet since the song’s release. Meanwhile, ‘Jawan’ crossed the ₹300 crore mark on Tuesday and earned rave reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his NDTV review, gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5, praising Shah Rukh Khan’s ability to blend larger-than-life action with grounded humanity, making him the perfect choice for the role.”
