Content creator Viraj Ghelani was a part of Shah Rukh Khan and Nayanthara’s blockbuster film ‘Jawan’. The content creator recently said that working in the film was his “worst experience ever”. Speaking on The Having Said That Show podcast, Ghelani revealed that the work environment on set was not enjoyable, and he was treated rudely. 

Viraj Ghelani on his experience of working in Jawan

Reflecting on his time working on Atlee’s directorial, Viraj expressed his frustration, saying, ““Don’t talk. F**k. Why did I do it? People are very sweet who watched the film for me that I watched your part. But it was my worst experience ever. Because see the thing is… they don’t consider you because they have Sanjay Dutt, Shah Rukh Khan and two Shah Rukh Khans and all those things. The work culture was ‘yahan khada ho ja, yeh kar le (stand here, do this)'."

He recounted an incident involving a prop, explaining, "There was this scene where in the close ups, I have a gun because I am a cop and then they go for a wide shot. Then I said that prop guy has taken my gun. They said gun will come to you, stand here. I was like okay. But the gun never came.”

Viraj feels content creators are cast for clout

Viraj further shared his disappointment, saying, “They were like, f**k that. I came and I went. I am just a blurred image in the background. I had (shot) proper dialogues. I had shot for 10 days in Madh Island in the heat of May. Then suddenly, I see that whatever we had worked on for 15 days, they only used what we shot during the first 30 minutes on the first day. Creators are cast for their clout only.”
