The legal notice cease-and-desist notice advises the team “from screening, promoting, releasing, publicising, advertising and exploiting the Hindi film titled Raees.” It goes on to say, Mustak’s father was “a famous businessman with deep roots in society.” In other words, Raees is likely to show him in an unfavourable light and must, therefore, explain itself to the son of the man on whose life the film is based. Even the set representing Abdul’s house that was erected in Film City was supposedly a replica of the Shaikhs’ residence. Wow. Trouble seems never ending on the sets of Raees. We wonder how SRK will walk triumphantly out of this one.
