Badshah's rude behaviour on sets:

• This news of Shahrukh's soon-to-be released movie 'Raees' has become the centre of attraction now. It was observed that the usually modest and cool actor was always in a foul mood on the sets while shooting for 'Raees.’
• Explaining why he became almost unapproachable on the sets, he said that despite not being too much into method acting, where the actors get into the skin of the character by almost living like it, he did prepare himself to appear as the ruthless don that he plays in the movie.
• To give an authentic look to his role, SRK made sure that he always was in a bad mood while shooting on the sets. Trust Shahrukh Khan to give his best to this role which we are sure will be another big hit!

• SRK, then, like a sweetheart sat with her and tried to understand her uneasiness. It has been reported that Mahira managed to do the scene after that. Now that sure is lovely!
