Eijaz Khan, who has made a successful transition from television to cinema and OTT platforms, shared his experiences and key insights from his role in Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan, where he played a significant part.

Speaking to ANI, the actor shared that working on the Atlee-directed Jawan has set a new standard for him. “The film has spoilt me, and now I always strive to do something better and better,” he said.

Everything felt unbelievable, like a dream. It spoilt me. Voh karne ke baad (after doing that), you always strive to do something better and better.”

Sharing his key takeaways from the film, Eijaz added, “One thing I learned from the film is that even if you are supremely talented, the people who truly succeed in touching the hearts of millions are those who never settle for the fame and fortune they have. They keep working harder and harder.”

He elaborated, “Their efforts are continuous (unki mehnat jaari rehti hai). With each success, they feel an even greater responsibility to work harder and produce better work.”

Eijaz Khan’s recent performance was in the OTT film Zabt, alongside Rahul Dev and Manoj Joshi. The movie is available for streaming on Prasar Bharati’s OTT platform, Waves.

The story follows Eijaz Khan’s character, a smart and ambitious man who moves to Mumbai. To acquire real estate, he borrows money from an underworld don but gets robbed. The film explores the mysteries of his past and his quest to recover the lost money.
