Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his big release, Rahul Dholakia’s Raees, in which he plays a gangster, Raees, pursued by Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s character. Pakistani actress Mahira Khan will be making her Hindi film debut with the film.
This past season of Bigg Boss, everyone from Deepika Padukone to Alia Bhatt to Ranveer Singh, have all stopped by to promote their upcoming films. Besides promotion, spending time with host Salman Khan is an added attraction. Salman and Shah Rukh last came together for Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam (2002) and were recently seen together hosting a segment at an awards show.
Reports of their renewed friendship in the last couple of months suggest that Shah Rukh will stop by the sets to promote Raees. He had stopped by in 2015 for promotions with Salman of Rohit Shetty’s Dilwale with Kajol for the ninth season of Bigg Boss. Since their famous fight that took place way back in 2008, both superstars have matured and put the past behind them.
Shah Rukh will shoot for two episodes of Bigg Boss on 20 January which will air before the tenth season’s finale. Raees will hit theatres on 25 January 2017 and clash with Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil.
