Mahira Khan has expressed she will do several times the romantic scene with SRK from their movie Raees “over and again” in a twitter session “Ask Mahira.” While hosting a “Ask Mahira” session on Twitter, the actress made the revelation. The fan tweeted the actress while she was answering a number of inquiries.
The actress was fielding a number of questions when a fan tweeted to her and asked, “Which seen you love to do with srk sir again and again #askmahira @TheMahiraKhan @iamsrk.”
Will Actress Mahira Khan get a chance to work with SRK Again?
Mahira Khan shared a moment from their song Zalima in which Shah Rukh held her close to his face as they sang the song. Sharing the picture, Mahira wrote, “This! ;)”. The tweet caught fan attention, with many hoping that Mahira gets a chance to work with Shah Rukh again.
“I mean, I can’t blame you… Srk is everyone’s crush, I would say the same if I ever get a chance to act with my crush.🙈🙈🙈 Mahira being uss,” a fan tweeted. “Please do a movie together I NEED IT IN MY LIFE,” added a second person.
“My favourite duo.. I still remember watching this song on loop when it got released,” a third Twitter user recalled. “Omggggg 😭😭😭 Really hope we get to see you guys in a movie again soon,” another tweet read.
Raees was released in January 2017. The film marked Mahira Khan’s Bollywood debut and it went on to do decent business at the box office. However, two years later, Pakistani actors and artists were banned in India by the All Indian Cine Workers Association following the Pulwama attack.
Years on, Mahira and Shah Rukh are now busy with their respective projects. While Mahira was last seen in the Pakistani film The Legend Of Maula Jatt with Fawad Khan, Shah Rukh has three big releases in the pipeline. These include Pathaan slated for January 2023 release, followed by Jawan in June and Dunki in December.
Raees is a typical ’80s potboiler. Disturbingly, like commercial cinema from that period, the moral compass is a bit off. As Raees breaks up a political rally with flaming bottles of spirit, it sanctions violence. And it is borderline misogynistic, with the female lead (Mahira Khan) little more than a prop: a love interest he marries, keeps at home to bring up his child, and either yells at or romances.
As an actor, SRK brings to Raees his usual screen presence. But also something that has shades of his early career: the ability to play the menacing anti-hero, with a simmering, all-consuming anger. You must also give the man credit for powering through the dance and action routines at 51.
Raees also deserves credit for going with a principal set of Muslim protagonists, a rarity for present-day Bollywood, and even SRK. In the intolerant times we live in, that is a statement on its own.
