‘Raees’ director questions buzz about Mahira Khan romancing Nawazuddin Siddiqui in film

It was reported that Mahira Khan apparently refused to get intimate with her other co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui for a certain sequence in the movie.

It was recently reported that Pakistani actress Mahira Khan, who is making her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Raees’, apparently refused to get intimate with her other co-star Nawazuddin Siddiqui for a certain sequence in the movie.

It was reported “Mahira’s character is of Nawaz’s glam doll in the film before Miyanbhai (SRK) sweeps her off her feet. Nawaz and Mahira’s relationship is not a happy one and there is a love-making scene between them. The scene is pretty edgy, dark and somewhat brutal as it has Nawaz forcing himself on her.”

‘Raees’ will have Shah Rukh Khan playing the role of a bootlegger whose business faces severe turmoil after a tough cop, played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui challenges his illegal activities.
