Speaking to Film Companion, Atlee addressed the same and said, “I know people will say that, but I am not taking from there. I have done Mersal, I have a wrestling scene in it, which is there in Jawan as well. I know that and it’s ok, both are my films. But when it comes to other films, for example Bane from Batman. I want to cover the face of an actor in a film, which I want to reveal in the next part, so what mask can I go for?

Further adding that the whole of Jawan is about masks only and if people think it was a copy of Bane from Batman then calls it a good reference. He added, “I have one half skull mask, one full bandaged mask, the entire film is about masks only, so I went with the mask that was designed by my production designer. That’s all. It was nice. If they call it Bane, that’s fine, that is a good reference.”
Meanwhile, Jawan recently crossed the 1000 crore mark worldwide, becoming the 6th Indian film to touch the milestone.
