One of Bollywood’s most successful actors, Shahrukh Khan, has already signed three new films for 2015. After a successful release with “Happy New Year” and "Dilwale," a few new details of the actor’s upcoming film “Raees,” has been revealed as it began shooting.
We’ve been hearing a lot of the actor’s movie and fans are excited to see what all the hype is about. The cast and crew of the film have finished filming the first schedule of "Raees," and now that "Dilwale" has released, SRK is finally ready to start filming the second schedule.
We’ve slowly been hearing a few details about the film, but we have yet to hear about Mahira’s character until now.
The Pakistani actress reportedly has a very unique and important role in the movie. Her character helps SRK’s character reach his tentacle of success in “Raees.”
“The film is based in the backdrop of the Muslim ghetto in Gujarat and ‘Raees’ is essentially a story of this man who becomes powerful. The heroine’s role is also a prominent one - that of SRK’s wife, a Muslim woman,” said a source close to the movie, according to Filmi Beat.
Although Mahira was ultimately chosen as the lead actress in the film, she wasn’t the first. Huma Qureshi was apparently approached first.
“Huma Qureshi. They thought Huma would fit the bill and also they wanted a fresh pairing of sorts. But then, they got Mahira on board because the character required the actress to have a certain kind of mannerism and lingo and being a Pakistani, Mahira totally nailed it,” said the source.
SRK will be seen playing an underworld don’s character. The director admitted that the lead role’s look and accent has been changed.
“He plays a man from the ghetto in Gujarat. He will dress and speak in a particular manner,” said Dholakia to Bollywod Hungama, who added that the film started on the issue of Prohibation. “We wanted to make a film on the issue. And since Gujarat is the only state that has Prohibition, we decided to locate our plot in Gujarat.”
Reports state that Khan plays a true-life character in “Raees” and resulted in the script being re-written multiple times.
“His character started off as a real-life person. But as we wrote and re-wrote several drafts of the script, Shah Rukh’s character become more and more fictional,” said Dholakia.
Now the actor is revealing a few new details about the movie and the reason why he chose Mahira for the leading lady.
“She’s beautiful, she’s fantastic and she has a very different style of acting,” said SRK while talking to the press in Edinburgh. “The reason we took her in the film was [that] we wanted it to be very different as far as the leading lady was concerned, and she brings that to the table and much more.”
