Shah Rukh Khan to release 'Raees' trailer on his 51st birthday

'Raees' has been in trouble owing to leading lady Mahira Khan being from Pakistan.

Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly planning to release the trailer of ‘Raees’ on his 51st birthday. The superstar will be launching the trailer at the annual event that he hosts at his bungalow on November 2, his birthday.

Shah Rukh khas decided against releasing it along with the two big Diwali releases, ‘Shivaay’ and ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’.

On the contrary, Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Kaabil’ which is headed for a Republic Day, 2017 clash with ‘Raees’ will be releasing its trailer with the Diwali releases.

Earlier, Aaamir Khan had also decided to release ‘Dangal’s first trailer a week before Diwali, breaking usual pattern.

‘Raees’ which has Pakistani beauty Mahira Khan debuting in Bollywood, won’t be affected by the ban on Pakistani artistes, as the films that are complete would be spared the ban.

'Raees,' helmed by Rahul Dholakia, also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the role of a cop.
