I had great expectations from it because there was a huge curiosity about the film among his Pakistani fans. “I was surprised when it was decided to have a ‘Full Board’ screening for the film. In the case of Raees, members of all the three Boards, sat on the screening, after which they called for a ban on the film.

Interestingly, both Shah Rukh and Ritesh Sidhwani had initially abstained from releasing the film in Pakistan.
