Shah Rukh Khan quote-tweeted it and penned, "It is with great anticipation that I look forward to WAVES - a film and entertainment world summit - to be held in our country itself. An occasion that celebrates our industry and acknowledges the role it plays in the Indian economy, as well as its strength as a soft power… and above all, an occasion that champions and fosters creativity!!! @narendramodi ji"

Right after this tweet, netizens began reacting to it. Some labeled it as political posturing, while others questioned SRK as to why he did not tweet anything about the former PM, the late Manmohan Singh's death, making it a BJP vs. Congress issue (but why?!!!). Practically, there is nothing wrong with any actor supporting a summit or a government campaign related to the cinema industry, but it seems that today's internet users do not comprehend that. Everyone has their own choice, but fans are certainly standing by the Jawan actor.
