Shah Rukh Khan's Character and Plot of Rahul Dholakia's Raees Revealed- The superstar will be seen in a never seen before avatar as a man from the Ghetto In Gujarat.

While the announcement about the release date of Raees itself generated a lot of Buzz, the buzz is all set to escalate further as the film deals with a very strong an relevant issue of Liquor Prohibition in Gujarat.

The director of the film Rahul Dholakia revealed details about Shah Rukh's character in the film to a leading website by saying-

"He plays a man from the ghetto in Gujarat. He will dress and speak in a particular manner."

He went on to further talk about the plot of the film-

"We wanted to make a film on the issue. And since Gujarat is the only state that has Prohibition, we decided to locate our plot in Gujarat."

He also justified the logic behind having indoor shooting schedule for Raees-

"It's very practical and logical to not take Shah Rukh Khan into the crowds. He is a star with a mammoth following. And he has a massive following in Gujarat. To shoot with him on the streets in Ahmedabad is not only impractical it's probably suicidal. I remember when we were shooting with Sanjay Dutt in Kashmir for Lamha. Huge crowds would gather and obstruct the shooting."

Raees is all set to release in EID Next Year.
