Ever since the trailer of Raees has unveiled, the social media is replete with Shah Rukh Khan fans going gaga over it. The film’s song Laila Main Laila has been a superhit, with the video garnering a whopping 4 crore views on YouTube. On Monday, SRK unveiled two posters of the film which sent the entire social media for a toss.
The first poster has Khan killing it with his shades, which is evident from the fact that the post has more than 7,000 likes and received more than 2,000 retweets. Besides that, he put a caption ‘O Zaalima‘ which we suspect are the lines from another of film’s song which might be unveiled soon.
However, what catches everyone’s attention is the second poster featuring SRK and his co-star Mahira Khan, and their chemistry is just sizzling. Just have a look at these two posters.

Shah Rukh also posted a dialogue from the film on Twitter as well.
Jis Dil ki dhadkan tu ho Aise dil ko kya dhadkana,
O Zaalima. Hope u all liked the new poster of Raees. Action ho Gaya Romance to follow.— Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) January 2, 2017
Besides Shah Rukh and Mahira, the film features Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Mohammad Zeeshan Ayyub and Atul Kulkarni. The film has run into several controversies even before its release. The film’s female lead Mahira has been at the epicentre of controversy after an old video of her surfaced in which she was heard taking a dig at India and Bollywood. Adding to this, she won’t be a part of Raees promotion, as SRK assured Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray that she will be kept away from promotional activities.

Also, yesteryear Gujarat gangster Abdul Latif’s son Mushtaq Sheikh has alleged that the Rahul Dholakia directorial venture has Shah Rukh playing his father. Sheikh alleged that the film shows his father in poor light. He has also threatened to file a defamation suit to the tune of Rs 100 crore before Bombay High Court if the film is released.
