However, as per a latest video circulating, fans have found uncanny similarities between Jawan and Spanish show Money Heist. In fact, most of you might not know that
Shah Rukh Khan acquired the rights to Money Heist in 2019.
So, let’s take a look at the similarities between the two shows:
The Heist and the kid
Azad and his team, which consists of six girls, hijacked a metro train in order to demand Rs 40,000 crores from the government. For this, they use Kaali's daughter. Similarly, in Money Heist season 1, the Professor’s gang invades the Royal Mint of Spain to print and escape with 2.4 billion euros and for it, they use Alison Parker, the daughter of the British Ambassador, to complete their mission.
Connection between Raquel Murillo and Narmada Rai Rathore
In Jawan, when Azad confirms the hijacking of the metro, he demands to talk to a special officer, Narmada Rai Rathore, played by Nayanthara. In Money Heist too, a similar situation takes place when Raquel Murillo speaks to Professor.
Flirting over the call
When Azad speaks to Narmada or Professor speaks to Raquel over the call in Jawan and Money Heist respectively, they both use flirtatious ways to put forward their demands.
The mask connection
When the money is transferred and the hostages are finally released, both Azad and Professor make sure their gang members wear the mask so that they are able to get out easily without anyone noticing who they are.
The doctor
In Jawan, Azad ends up attacking the health minister and takes him to a government hospital for his treatment. The government sends a team of doctors there while he shares his demand to Nayanthara. Similarly, in Money Heist when Arturo is wounded, Raquel actually confirms sending a surgeon to treat the civilian.
Azad-Narmada's love story
Narmada wanted to arrest Azad first and fell in love with him, the same happens in Money Heist between Professor and Raquel. After knowing their backgrounds, both Raquel and Narmada join the other gang? Interestingly, both Narmada and Raquel have a daughter.
Laxmi and Nairobi
When Nairobi passes in the Money Heist, Raquel joins the gang and takes her place. A similar occurrence takes place in Jawan after Laxmi's death when Narmada takes her place in the gang.
Changing looks of Azad and Professor
In Money Heist, the Professor keeps changing his appearances to escape on several occasions. In Jawan too, Shah Rukh Khan's character Azad does the same.
Ending
After completing their mission, Azad and his father Vikram Rathore head to another country to take a break. But soon, Madhavan Nair (Sanjay Dutt) turns up and hands him a new mission. In Money Heist as well, when the gang relocates to different areas, Rio is captured and hints at another heist.
