Mahira is still the leading lady for SRK's Raees

WEB DESK: Mahira Khan has not been removed from Raees, says producer Ritesh Sidhwani. After rubbishing the rumors of the movie being postponed yet again, this time because of the leading lady, Sidhwani also called the exit of Mahira from the movie just a rumor.

According to Times of India, Ritesh said, "I do not understand where all this is coming from. I would only say one thing - I have shot with the girl for 45 days and finished the film, I hope that clarifies things.

"I was not reacting to such reports or commenting because I feel that when someone speculates something and you go and respond to it, you are providing a platform to such speculations and rumours. I feel it is better to ignore such things. I don't want to talk about 'Raees', I am here to cheer for my wife."

The producer explained why he remained silent all this time.

Earlier in an interview, Sidhwani also revealed that Raees’s release has not been postponed and will hit the theaters on time.

“We are sticking to the release date we announced earlier for Raees. I don’t think something like a ban has happened. The association has itself written to the government that people who have already made their films, who have completed their shooting, we should respect that," he said.

Well, Mahira is still very much ready for the much awaited Bollywood debut with none other than King Khan.
