Putting all speculation to rest regarding a cut in her scenes following escalating India-Pakistan tensions, the trailer shows Mahira Khan in all her glory making Pakistan proud once again.
The trailer gives Mahira ample screen time and as an Indian journalist aptly stated she's the "surprise package." A romantic scene in the trailer between Mahira and King Khan may need to be watched again and again to make her Pakistani fans believe this is really happening.

And for those asking - Mahira Khan is very much a part of the #Raees trailer and that's how it should be.

The two minute 46 second long trailer is packed with action and shows SRK in a never-seen-before avatar as he breaks away from his usual romantic roles. SRK's action scenes will leave you on the edge of your seat and wanting for more.
Looking like a true gangster in a refreshing change from his romantic avatars, the King of Bollywood displays immense energy as he takes on opponents in the trailer.
Look of #Raees literally owns SRK n then he romances with a lot of pakeezgi. Raees looks like a career defining role for SRK.#RaeesTrailer
