Enthusiasts were thrilled when they saw the Raees trailer
- for two key reasons. One being the man himself - Shah Rukh Khan, and second,
his female lead Mahira Khan's scenes were not chopped off unlike what happened
with Ali Zafar during Dear Zindagi.
Hopes were high when film's producer Ritesh Sidhwani at the
trailer launch event of Raees informed that if required, Mahira will join
in the film's promotions. But enthusiasts, your happiness was momentary!
Yesterday, Shah Rukh met Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS)
chief Raj Thackeray at his residence in Mumbai along with Ritesh. Post the
meeting, Thackeray said the press that SRK has informed him that Mahira
would not be promoting the movie!
In the past, MNS has objected to casting of
Pakistani actors in Bollywood movies owing to terror attacks in India. Even in
October, huge hue and cry was made against the release of Karan
Johar's Ae Dil Hai Mushkil for featuring Pak actor Fawad Khan.
