Deepika And SRK at the event
Chaleya fever is here to stay. Shah Rukh Khan's hit song Chaleya from Jawan set the mood at a press meet for the film held in Mumbai on Friday. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Vijay Sethupathi, director Atlee, Sunil Grover, Sanya Malhotra and other stars of the movie attended the press conference which was organised to celebrate the super success of Jawan. The event was ignited by a live performance to Chaleya by Shah Rukh Khan - he was joined by Deepika Padukone and together, they danced to Anirudh Ravichander's tune. In the film, Chaleya was picturised on SRK and Nayanthara who did not attend the event.

On Thursday, Anirudh shared a video of himself singing Chaleya while playing piano on his X (formerly known as Twitter). Anirudh wrote in the caption, "It's been a while.. here's your fav Chaleya." Shah Rukh Khan, who's been actively responding to all appreciation posts coming his way, re-shared the video on his X and wrote an adorable note for Anirudh.

From celebs to fans, several reel videos of Chaleya are doing the rounds on the internet since the song released. Meanwhile, Jawan entered the ₹ 300 crore club on Tuesday. Jawan opened to stellar reviews. Film critic Saibal Chatterjee, in his review for NDTV, gave the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and he wrote, "Who is better equipped to do all this than SRK, who, even when he plays a larger-than-life action hero on a mission to take down a powerful industrialist who has wronged him and his nation in more ways than one, can stay rooted in the real world and animate the canvas with humanity even as he projects an invincible, superhero-like persona?"
