At the success event of Jawan, Deepika said, "I have now discovered that I have been fooled. I was shooting for 'Project K' in Hyderabad. Atlee and Shah Rukh came and told me about the cameo, and for me, it was the impact of the character. Everyone knows my love for him. I am always there for him. The movie is about the vision. Any actor would have agreed to play Aishwarya."
Deepika further added that she said yes to the film immediately and didn't even want to hear the entire narration: "They were narrating, and I was like, do not waste energy; I will do it. When we work together, lots of love comes on screen."
Shah Rukh Khan admitted to being hesitant to approach Deepika Padukone for the role, as it was a mother's role and they were already shooting for 'Besharam Rang' in 'Pathaan'. At the same event, Shah Rukh Khan said, "Deepika has proved to be ever so gusty."
Deepika reportedly did not charge a penny for 'Jawan'. She also responded to being called a "lucky mascot" for Shah Rukh Khan, saying, "Lucky charm is throwaway terms; we have immense love, respect, and trust in one another. If I am on a set and there is some issue, he will be the first to come to me. As an actor and human being, I love respect."
