Rahul Dholakia clears the air on Shahrukh Khan's Raees getting postponed

Raees starring Shahrukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar in the lead roles is set to go on floors in November. Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the film will bring Shah Rukh Khan and Farhan Akhtar in the same frame for the first time. A leading tabloid recently reported that the film might not go on floors in November as announced and there might be a delay in starting the project.

According to the tabloid, Farhan Akhtar is apparently not very happy with the second half of the script and is getting some changes done. As a result, the film has apparently been delayed in order to make the necessary changes.

Director Rahul however has trashed the news as a mere rumour. He took to his Twitter page to clear the air on Raees getting postponed.

For #Raees to release, it has to finish and for it to finish it has to start and for it to start, prior commitments have to end - Hai Na ?
