The random bird in Jawan theory

While everyone was losing their minds in my theater during the Vikram Rathore pre-interval entry I noticed the random shot of a bird flying by just as SRK enters.

Well now watching it on Netflix I just noticed another shot of a (perhaps the same?) bird flying away during the metro scene. Then I realized the original teaser of Jawan with the heavily bandaged SRK also prominently featured a bird. This has to be intentional but it’s something I haven’t seen mentioned by anyone. Also, I haven’t seen any of Atlee’s other films but has he always thrown in subtle symbolism like this in between all the madness?

My theory is the bird represents Vikram Rathore’s spirit since it was featured in his entrance shot. It also plays on his line later “I’ll always be there for you my son” when his memory is gone, suggesting his spirit was always with Azad.
