A special set had been created at the Mehboob studio in Mumbai, for the song that will feature in the film. The set is that of an old retro bar where few people will be seen selling alcohol in the pretext of selling cold beverages.
This will be the first time Leone will be sharing screen space with a superstar, after her cameo in Akshay Kumar’s 'Singh is Bliing' last year.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, 'Raees' is set in 1980s Gujarat. It tells the story of bootlegger Raees Khan (Shah Rukh) whose business is challenged and eventually thwarted by a police officer played by Nawazuddin Siddiqui. The film which also stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan is scheduled to release this Eid.
