Thursday, 21st Jan 2016, 5:29 PM IST Shahrukh Khan’s ‘Raees’ is one of the most awaited films of the year. The movie stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan as the female lead. However, it is said that Huma Qureshi was the first choice for the film. A source said, "Huma Qureshi was first approached by the makers. They thought Huma would fit the bill and also they wanted a fresh pairing of sorts. But then, they got Mahira on board because the character required the actress to have a certain kind of mannerism and lingo and being a Pakistani, Mahira totally nailed it." "The film is based in the backdrop of the Muslim ghetto in Gujarat and Raees is essentially a story of this man who becomes powerful. The heroine's role is also a prominent one - that of SRK's wife, a Muslim woman," added the source.
