Shah Rukh Khan books the Eid 2015 slot for his film Raees

Usually Salman Khan claims the lucrative Eid period for his releases. But it looks like that the Ek Tha Tiger hero won’t have an Eid release next year. Why? That is probably his upcoming projects after this year’s Eid release Kick are right now either in the planning and pre-production stages. And if reports are to be believed, Shah Rukh Khan has decided to release his Raees on Eid 2015. Raees is going to be directed by Parzania fame director Rahul Dholakia. This movie also stars Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor. Shooting of the movie will start once the Chennai Express actor is done with his next release Happy New Year. Here it may be said that Shah Rukh claimed the Eid spot for the first time last year with Chennai Express that went out to be a sensational blockbuster. Raees also stars Farhan Akhtar and Sonam Kapoor in pivotal roles. Though the producers (Excel Entertainment) had denied this news before, Ritesh Sidhwani has confirmed that the film will be releasing on Eid 2015.
