Shah Rukh Khan's Baap-beta dialogue wasn't in the script

'Bete ko haath lagane se pehle, Baap se baat kar,' the dialogue reverberated in the ears of fans when they heard it first from Shah Rukh Khan in the Jawan trailer. Sumit Arora has shared the real story behind the now iconic dialogue which has been linked to SRK and Aryan Khan relationship and the drug case. Arora tells a news wire that the story behind the dialogue will make one believe in the magic of filmmaking. Sumit claims that the dialogue was never a part of the original draft. The moment, however, the scene of Vikram (Shah Rukh) facing the villain was always there. It was a powerful moment but one without a dialogue. During the shooting of the same, the makers felt there should be a dialogue or that the character of Vikram should day something in the scene.
