In an extension to that scene, which seems to be a chase sequence, SRK is seen jumping across rooftops. In one scene, SRK is seen in black garb doing maatam, a ritual that Shias follow during the mourning months of Muharram. But a few scenes in the film’s trailer had hurt the religious sentiments of the Shia Muslim community in India. Shah Rukh Khan’s dialoguebaazi, daredevil gangster swag and the true blue Pathan look, the amazing onscreen chemistry with Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and more impressed the fans and critics alike. This happened post the release of the trailer of the much awaited film. The film had also got into trouble when Indian Shia Muslims forums got together to file a petition against the film Raees.
It can be recalled that Mahira Khan was not the first choice for the film and it was Ankita Shorey who was first approached the female lead.įollowing the Uri attacks, there were also speculations that Mahira Khan’s role in the film must have been cut short however producer Farhan Akhtar cleared the air and said that the role hasn’t been fidgeted with.
