The film will hit cinemas on Eid 2016 alongside Salman Khan's equally-hyped movie, Sultan.
King Khan first tweeted not one but two posters of his film Raees which also marks the Bollywood debut of Pakistani superstar Mahira Khan:

And then came the teaser of the film. A one minute five seconds long video that introduces Shah Rukh in a never-seen-before avatar. Here, take a look:
Shah Rukh is playing a Gujrati don in Raees and has absolutely nailed the look. Unfortunately though, the teaser doesn't reveal much about the plot of the film and neither the posters nor the teaser feature Mahira or Nawazuddin Siddiqui -- the other two lead characters in the film. So their fans will have to wait a bit longer.
