Shah Rukh Khan's 'Raees' in trouble as VHP opposes shoot in Gujarat

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad has raised an objection against Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film, 'Raees.'

According to reports, Shah Rukh Khan was slated to shoot for a 15-day schedule of the film in Kutch and Ahmedabad. However, the VHP isn't happy with the developments.

The members of the VHP burnt posters of SRK's films and have demanded the District Collector to cancel the permit for the shoot of the film 'Raees' in Gujarat. They have also threatened that if their demands are not paid heed to, they will disrupt the shoot of the film when it happens.

While Shah Rukh Khan had admitted that the box-office performance of 'Dilwale' was hit thanks to his comments on intolerance, it seems like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad has still not forgiven him for the same even after an apology was issued by the actor.

In the past, the international working president of Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), Pravin Togadia, had come down squarely on both Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan for claiming that there was an atmosphere of intolerance and insecurity in India. He had said, "Both these actors do not have any love for their motherland otherwise they would not have made such unpatriotic remarks."

Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the crime-drama, 'Raees' is set in the 1980s Gujarat. It is slated to release on Eid this year.
