Director Atlee Gets Big Offers After The Historic Success of 'Jawan'
Mumbai, September 24 - Tamil director Atlee Kumar is on cloud nine with the once-in-a-lifetime success of the action thriller Jawan, starring superstar Shah Rukh Khan. With this movie, Atlee has also become the first Tamil director to deliver a 1000-crore grosser and this huge success is making noise outside India as well.## During a recent interview with Film Companion, Atlee revealed that he got calls from Hollywood and even a few offers to work there if he wished to. The filmmaker said that one of the scenes in the movie, where Shah Rukh Khan's Vikram Rathore lighting a cigar with the sparks generated during an action-packed scene, has attracted the attention of Hollywood artists.## "People who worked on our film were from Hollywood. Action director Spiro Razatos worked with us. So, Spiro and other great directors and technicians from Hollywood were at the same screening of Jawan. And Spiro said I have done action in this film. So, they asked who had done that scene where SRK was engulfed in flames. He said, 'It was the director's vision and he executed it".## He added that, "They immediately connected with me and told me, 'If you want to work in Hollywood, let us know', so it isn't a taste which is very desi. It is something superheroic and it has a very basic rhythm. I thought this idea only works for us but it is working globally".## Meanwhile, Atlee is in talks with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun for a Pan India movie. The duo recently met in Mumbai to discuss the potential collaboration. Apart from this, the blockbuster filmmaker also wishes to direct a movie featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Thalapathy Vijay together as well as another solo movie with the latter.## Stay tuned...
