It has been more than ten days since Raees released and the film is still attracting cine buffs to the theatres. Shah Rukh Khan’s memorable performance as a bootlegger Raees Alam and a powerful portrayal of honest ACP Majmudar by Nawaazuddin Siddiqui took the film to new heights. It was due to this that Raees, helmed by Rahul Dholakia earned over Rs 250 crore across the globe.
Apart from Nawazuddin and SRK, viewers were left in awe of Mahira Khan as well. In the role of SRK’s wife, Mahira made an impressive debut in Bollywood. Her chemistry with Shah Rukh grabbed the attention of viewers and critics alike.

There were many reports in the media that makers truncated this song to lessen the screen time of Mahira, keeping in mind the sour relationships between India and Pakistan. But the makers refuted these theories and asserted that deleting the song was a creative decision.
