Dream come true to work with Shah Rukh Khan: Mahira Khan

Pakistani star Mahira Khan, who will be making her Bollywood debut in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘Raees’, has said it’s a dream come true to work with the superstar.

“It’s my dream come true to work with Shah Rukh Khan and I am very excited about Raees. But more than this, I am nervous too. It feels like I am under pressure to show my acting skills” Mahira said on the sidelines of the Vogue Awards on Wednesday.

She also spoke about the first scene that she had to shoot in front of Shah Rukh.

“The first scene, I thought I would be doing it smoothly, but as he (Shah Rukh) came in front of me, I forgot my lines. I will always remember that incident” she said.

Mahira is a popular face in Pakistan. She featured opposite Fawad Khan in the TV serial ’Humsafar’.

When asked if she would work in a Bollywood film with Fawad, Mahira said “I know people loved our chemistry, but we both are busy with our projects. Therefore, it’s going to be tough.”

‘Raees’ is scheduled to release in theatres on Republic Day next year.

  • Raees is already Destroyed,even srk fans wont watch this movie now.Releasing opposite to Hrithik that too in his Fathers movie,is not a gr8 idea.Raees has chances to work ifff it releases on Christmas this year coz i have a feeling that Dangal wont appeal much,but even if it does,Christmas new yr is the best release dates,and can occupy two big movies.

  • Even I am very excited about RAEES.
    when I watch Raees teaser
    it still gives me goosebumps!
    The background music,dialouges and SRK’s look was awesome!
    Dont know why Raess has been postponed to Jan’2017??
    I think this is one of the most idiotic decisions ever taken in BOLLYWOOD.

  • I just luv Mahira alott….I have see her chat show on YouTube n she is a killer…ppl watch Mahira n Fawad Behind the scenes from their chat show n u gonna luv their masti….Mahira will rock in Raees…Waiting eagerly for SRK-Mahira combo :)

  • One can understand her initial nervousness while working with SRK. But I am expecting a very fine performance from her.

    Have heard the makers have re-confirmed Republic Day as release date so as of now the unfortunate clash with Kaabil looks to be officially on. Another recent news/rumor is that the makers will launch a second teaser in September. Definitely waiting for that one.

    Just cannot wait to see SRK in a dark and powerful role like Raees. And the presence of Nawazuddin will be the perfect icing on the cake for me. Nothing more exciting for me than seeing two such very powerful performers coming together.

  • Raees will ensure come back of SRK in bollywood if it gets Solo release. They should book post IPL release for Raees or even Independemce weekend is good.
    Clashing with Kaabil wont prove fruitful for Raees.
    Kaabil is not going to move away from Jan 26. I want both Kaabil and Raees to be Blockbuster.

  • Raees will face protest due to presense of mahira although releasing after Dangal may cover some damage

  • Mahira knows very well that the movie gonna struggle to surpass 80cr mark. Bechari nervous toh bogi hi naa!!!

  • well one should be..everyone knows the girl who make debut with SRK becomes one of the top actress in bollywood..same will happen with her..#BANIYE KA DIMAG MIYAN BHAI KI DARING

  • CE- 226cr.

    HNY- 204cr.

    Dilwale- 145cr.

    Fan- 84cr.

    After seeing the trend (collections decreasing with each release) is it so difficult for one to predict the lifetime collections of Raees???

  • Make your way to welcome @hritik(!!!!The king of exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!), @TIGER, ULTRON and navin tocome and bash srk

  • Srk will never give HGOTY ever. Raees and Dear Xindagi will go like FAN; 80 crore club. His last HGOTY was Om Shanti On. Even OSO couldn’t be HGOTY if Welcome wouldn’t clash with Taare Zameen Par. All HGOTY he has given is with YRF,DHARMA PRODUCTIONS, BHANSALI AND FARAH KHAN. Without these brands, he is nothing like Aamir without big franchises or Raju Papa. 2016 HGOTY is already Sultan. Dangal can max touch 295 crore mark in best case. 2017 HGOTY will be Tubelight or Dabangg3 or Salman’s next with Rajkumar Santoshi. Even YRF found Salman better actor than hakla khan. Yrf has only 2 films with Salman, and those two films were YRF highest grossing film ever!!! While Srk is giving flops with YRF too. Fan – 84 crore. Srk will destroy his career if he does movies and in return will ruin the director’s career too. That’s why YRF has chosen Salman Khan Megastar as Villain Role/Lead Role in Dhoom4.

  • We all know Duniya ka sabse bada superstar ki daring ( ran in fear 2 times )

  • Raees should release on 19 may 2017 post ipl period no film is scheduled on 19 may also it will have 4weeks free run till tubelight comes it also the 4th most lucrative period it is faaar better than 26 jan even solo … or Christmas 2016 clash with dangal …as Christmas is big enough for two films to perform

  • Even epic begging didn’t help raees to gets solo release. Seems that everybody is confident to clash with global king even Child artist mogli and small actress Vidya Balan too!

  • @TIGER-The real king, @hritik and all
    Do u know that SRK’s dad died when he was 15. His family was poor and in order to look after his mother and sister SRK had to work as a waiter in a hotel, and with remaining money he would buy his course books to study.
    He worked in Barry John’s theatre, TV serials, his mom passsed away and he spent countless nights hungry on street. Do u know that mother’s pain?
    Do u have something called respect?? You bhai grew up in a rich family with so much industry clouts……………….

  • Hey SRKians like @SSS, @xzone @challa
    I m from Nepal. Watched VeerZaara a few days ago in the internet and now am in love with this movie
    Thouh all SRK films are very popular here there are no much Hindi film channels except Sony MAX and Gold and they do not air VeerZaara
    How popular is VeerZaara in India television? ?? It has now become my favourite movie of all time………………Classic
