Take a look at top 5 reasons to watch Shah Rukh's Raees:

Shah Rukh Khan in serious role

King Khan will be seen in a serious role in Raees. After Dilwale and Happy New Year, Shah Rukh will be seen in a badass character. However, he was seen in a different role in Fan as well, but in Raees, the actor adopts a rugged look. He will play bootlegger's character named Miyanbhai. The superstar looks extremely hot in pathan suit and surma in his eyes.

Plot

Set in 1980s Gujarat, the story of Raees revolves around the character Raees Khan (Miyanbhai). Raees Khan believes that no occupation is small and no religion is above his occupation. In this movie, you will see his journey from a bootlegger to a politician. The film is shot in Mumbai, Bhuj, Ahmedabad and other parts of Gujarat. A few days ago, it had been reported that the Raees team had received a legal notice from alleged gangster Mustak, son of Abdul Latif, claiming to have made a movie on his father's life.

Star cast

Rahul Dholakia has got a wonderful star cast for his movie. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, the film features versatile actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan. Nawaz has now worked with all the three Khans, and in Raees, he will play a badass cop's role. Mahira is a well- known TV personality in Pakistan and she will make her Bollywood debut with this film. All the characters looked phenomenal in the trailers and teasers of the movie. And last but not the least, Sunny Leone as Laila. The diva will shake a leg with SRK in Laila O Laila song in the movie.

Dialogues

A few dialogues and one-liners from Raees have already become popular. From "Battery nahi bolne ka" to "Baniye ka dimaag aur Miyaan bhai ki daring," the one-liners have won hearts.
