  • Good decision..
    We have plenty of tallent in india then why should we care about porkistani artists who are good only at exporting terrorism..

  • Poor Indian artist to face this kind of circumstances. They’ve acted together and now coz of ban they neglect (Mahira) their contribution to the movie. The same goes to ADHM team. I know they wouldn’t do it personally but for the sake of the release of the movie they have to do this. What a pity!

  • @RatZone

    WRONG- the real goon here is YOU n your band of inglorious bhojpori peasants…!

    RT is a LION amongst us who puts India n Indians FIRST before porkistani artists like Mahira n Sarook n doesnt care too much for global interests like a certain Global Phanka Salesman…!

  • Not only do we not want Porkistani (CON)Artists working in our films but we also dont want any Prisonstani Peasants like ‘javeeeeeda’ commenting on our pro India websites…!

    Surely they must be some Pro Paki/ Pro ISIS websites for these wannabe terrorists to visit n drool over….?!?!?

  • The great thing about the pic is that Raj looks like an actual DON while Pluto Boy looks exactly like a real life bhikari RICE smuggler

  • This is a major setback 4 bollywood..because one of the biggest and most well known bollywood superstars in the world has given in to the petty needs of an idiot politician, setting a bad example for the newcomers who have Shah rukh as an idol..and further escalating the problems between the 2 countries after everything was going back 2 normal and ppl had made their peace with what happened and we’re just starting to move on..

  • see……how much he is frustrated to get a HIT.
    he knows, if shiv sena creates trouble, raees will b another flop. poor guy.

  • Movie making is high risk. Either your film earns millions or it returns grave losses. Shahrukh Khan like a smart businessman protecting his business interest here.. When the government cannot keep a check on folks like Raj thackeray and gives them indirect power to bully people what else are filmfolks to do..

  • @jolly toiletholic
    We saw what Akki’s real face looked like in Jolly LLB2 poster. He looked like a real chaiwala we usually see in hotels.

  • Actually this is the Today’s India. …

    India Divided slowly by the name of fake Nationalism and one by one everyone targeted by different party’s goons…..

    Somebody beat people in theater to not stand on the time of National Anthem. .

    Somebody Send you Pakistan for just speaking truth.

    Someone called Deshdrohi. …

    Somebody check your fridge and cooker to find beef…

    Somebody interfere to Your Religion believe just for their own agenda. …

    So how can a normal person or A World Respected Superstar fight every goons of different party’s? ??

  • When will Coward Khan stop begging ??? Beg Salman, beg Rakesh Roshan beg Thug Thackeray . Haa bechari Srk, u are shameless.

  • Sad to see my country still struggling for independence…!

    When the supreme court of a country decides to play national anthem in cinemas, it gives you an insight of the degraded thought process of the law makers. At least give respect to the national anthem and don’t let it play at places where people are out just for fun and there are high chances of disrespectful situations.

    What if a non-Indian actor is part of an Indian movie? Is it a shame or pride? We should be proud that the artistic talent of the neighboring country believes that our country is a land of opportunity and superior than their nation in terms of technology and art.

    Anyway, all these are just publicity stunts that are being played by the promotional team of Raees. All the best SRK.

  • This is hight of disgrace… This kind of fake patriotism to make political career fly high is a cheap trick for many people in India…

    As a producer & actor srk is bound to make this orelse this goonda will make him pay a huge price….although I guess srk was never interested to do so but a lot money & his carrier is riding on raees as it’s up against Kaabil…. Feeling sad for srk

    From a srk hater & a diehard Salman fan
