Pakistani actress Mahira Khan will be joining Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming movie 'Raees,' it has been reported.
Produced by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, the film, which will see the 'Humsafar' star playing the wife of a gangster (Shah Rukh Khan), will also feature critically-acclaimed actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui as a cop, the Express Tribune reported.
The 'Neeyat' artist said that she was neither waiting for a perfect script from Bollywood nor had she read many.
There's always a bit of pressure when performing with such good actors and she's a fan of both Shah Rukh and Siddiqui, she further added.
Mahira further mentioned that Pakistani actors have no edge over Indian actors as only a good actor has an edge over a weak actor or a hardworking actor has an edge over a lazy actor but Nationality has nothing to do with it.
