The trailer of Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees was launched on Wednesday and not only SRK fans, but our B-Town celebs loved it. SRK, who is playing the role of a wicked bootlegger in the film, has simply nailed it with his amazing badass avatar. The trailer launch was a grand event held at Yashraj Studios in Mumbai and the whole team of the film was present at the event, except the lead actress Mahira Khan.

Directed by Rahul Dholakia, Raees is set in the backdrop of the situation in Gujarat in the 80s and the trailer will only make you fall more in love with SRK. King Khan charmed everyone with his usual wittiness during the event and said that he is overwhelmed with such great response.

The actor added that he would love to play a bad boy on-screen if any good script comes his way. He also cleared the air about the clash between Raees and Hrithik Roshan’s Kaabil and said:

We had actually decided about the release date long back. First, both the films were going to release on 26th, so we had decided with our exhibitor and distributors about coming out on 25th. Kaabil I guess is coming out in the evening shows on 25th and we would be coming on the regular shows on the same day. There is nothing like we decided later, it is a wise decision to take knowing that 26th is a holiday.
