Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan won’t be shooting together for ‘Raees’?

We all know that due to Uri attacks, Pakistani actors are being banned in India. However, yesterday Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPAA), announced that Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ and Karan Johar’s ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ will release without any hurdles as the movies have already been shot. But, the filmmakers are advised not to cast anyone from our neighbouring country.

This is surely a good news for the makers of both the films, but there’s a small problem. Well, the shooting of Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan’s ‘Raees’ is still left. An opening scene of Shah Rukh Khan and Mahira Khan are yet to be shot and without that scene the movie can’t release.

‘Raees’ will be apparently releasing in January next year, and that’s why the makers didn’t rush to shoot the film. SRK was supposed to restart the shooting of the film in November, after he completes the promotions of ‘Dear Zindagi’. But, due to the recent ban, everything has changed.

According to a leading tabloid, while the makers can shoot with SRK in Mumbai, it will be difficult to get Mahira here. The makers are now planning to shoot with her abroad. But still the problem won’t be solved as there’s a song sequence to be shot with SRK and Mahira.

Now we wonder how the shooting of ‘Raees’ will be completed.
