on Oct 12, 2016

According to the latest reports, Pakistani actress Mahira Khan has been dropped off as SRK's heroine from Raees. After many speculations around the same a sources was quoted as saying this, "It was a very painful decision for producer Ritesh Sidhwani to take. The pressure to replace her had been building up for months. It reached a crescendo after the Uri attacks. It came to a point where it became impossible to shoot with any Pakistani. People suggested all kinds of solutions to the impasse, including shooting in Dubai. But it didn’t seem viable. Now, Mahira has unfortunately been relieved of her duties. The Raees team needs to find a new girl in two weeks’ time". The Pakistani actress Mahira Khan earlier this week condemned the Uri terror strike, saying she prays for a more peaceful world just after Fawad Khan, who stars in upcoming Bollywood film "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil", also broke his silence over the attack in a Facebook post. Following the terror attacks at Uri, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 18, which resulted in the death of 19 Indian soldiers, several groups all across India began clamouring for Pakistani artists working in India to leave the country.
