Shah Rukh surprised the entire crew with his non-starry attitude to an extent that the team panicked when Shah Rukh came on the sets early on the first day, as they thought it to be a coordination error. The actor has been working 10-12 hours at a stretch every day.

The spokesperson of the film told the daily, "The shoot has been going fantastic! Shah Rukh has been taking the energy on sets a notch higher. He has been reaching early, interacting with everyone on sets, shooting for extra hours."
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the film will see Shah Rukh Khan as a bootlegger and Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a cop, along with the Pakistani beauty and Humsafar star, Mahira Khan.
The Bollywood megastar and the Pakistani superstar took to Twitter to express their sentiments on the first day of the Raees shoot:
First day on Raees. Hot but heartening. And KKR starts its match. Go boys….cheering you from the sets.
