In case you didn't already know, actor, producer Shah Rukh Khan officially confirmed the long-rumoured Jawan release date change with a tweet over the weekend, and the movie, directed by Atlee is now releasing on September 7, 2023 [Thursday], instead of June 2, 2023. (video, poster here)

Shah Rukh's Jawan release date tweet unexpectedly caused a Twitter chaos, thanks to a tweet from a handle called @runnews/Russian Market. The handle was unimpressed with Elon Musk - the new Twitter chief that the platform's algorithm was showing him tweets from a 'random Indian actor' whom they've never heard of before.
Why does this new Twitter algorithm keep showing me tweets of some random Indian actor I've never even heard of? I mean, no offense to Bollywood, but seriously @elonmusk, whose idea was that? pic.twitter.com/hYXUI0TkFD

Unsurprisingly 'Russian Market' was 'educated' in no time about Shah Rukh Khan's stardom and influence, leaving the handle to eventually ask for movie suggestions to make up for their 'mistake'. A glimpse of what went down in the chaotic 2-days:
First of all he is not some random indian actor. Also there is option of "not interested in this tweet". You need to use that button regularly that way algorithm with become more accurate for you.

Although I am Indian, I have never seen a single tweet from him.

I think the reason for you might have to do with who you follow. If you follow people who follow SRK or interact with him, you will be shown his tweets.
In my case, I don't follow Joe Biden. But he pops up in my…
An introduction like no other.

He didn’t just want to meet him, but also is a great admirer of him!

I think I stepped on an osprey's nest when I wrote that I don't know this actor @iamsrk. Please forgive my ignorance, my esteemed readers, but I haven't watched any of his movies. Which movie should I start with? https://t.co/bjRCrPybQV
