RAEES updates - Page 10

4 weeks to roll.

Shah Rukh Khan bringing about changes in the script of Rahul Dholakia's Raees where he plays a bootlegger; Nawazuddin Siddiqui will be seen as a Cop in the film.

It is a known fact that Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in a negative role in his upcoming thriller Raees where he will be chased by a smart cop played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Now we hear that the superstar has asked the director of the film Rahul Dholakia to incorporate a few changes in the film and give his character a few positive shades. Shah Rukh Khan knows about the huge expectations his fans and audiences have from him as he returns to play a negative role after a long time.

The actor is making sure that just like Don, his character in Raees too finds a place in peoples heart. A source close to the development revealed to a leading daily-

"It is an interesting tale of Shah Rukh's character being brought up by the main villain of the story. The highlight of the film is when SRK comes in contact with this villain at the age of eight. When he grows up his fight with this villain becomes his life. It's a fight against evil. The storyline is very interesting, but if there are changes made to SRK's childhood in the story line, then there will be a drastic changes in the plot itself."

The movie is expected to go on floors by the end of March and if all goes well, Shah Rukh Khan will wrap up most of the shoot for the film by May this year, post which he moves on to his next with Rohit Shetty.

Raees shoot to begin by March- end, major schedule pushed ahead as the star apparently intends to first wrap up Rohit Shetty's next

IT's official. The Shah Rukh Khan- starrer Raees, which was announced nearly two years ago and slated to go on floors last November, will finally roll by this month- end.

Ritesh Sidhwani, who is producing the film, says, " The shoot will commence from March 28 in Mumbai. We plan to release it on Eid next year." Raees, to be helmed by Rahul Dholakia, was marketed as SRK and Farhan Akhtar's first big screen outing together. However, exactly a year ago, Farhan opted out of the project as his dates clashed with Bejoy Nambiar's Wazir which was to start by late 2014. He was replaced by Nawazuddin Siddiqui three months ago.

Dholakia plans to shoot in old Ahmedabad and Saurashtra, as the real lifeinspired film is set in Gujarat.

SRK plays a bootlegger while Nawaz will be seen as a cop.

Sidhwani, however, says the major schedule of the film will take off only in September. Reason? Shah Rukh apparently intends to first wrap up Rohit Shetty's Dilwale, which is more or less ready.

Industry insiders suggest that the star intends to release the film this Christmas.

If that happens, it will clash with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani " a repeat of 2007, when SRK's Om Shanti Om had a box office collision with SLB's Saawariya.
