Giving a perfect example of Shahrukh Khan's grip over the character, the film's director added, "We wrapped up shooting of one schedule of the film in June-July 2015 and SRK went back to shoot for 'Dilwale'. In January 2016, we gathered back and started shooting Raees again. From the very beginning while shooting a scene with Nawazuddin Siddiqui, he showed that he was still in the character."

"It had been seven months he was away from the movie and suddenly she surprised everyone by his performance," he said.

Well, Shahrukh Khan is the richest Bollywood star for a reason!
