Set against the backdrop of the prohibition in Gujarat, the film touches upon the way alcohol industry crumbled followed by several illegal activities.
Shah Rukh essays the title role of Raees, a bootlegger. The film also has actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui chasing him to expose his smuggling activities.
'Raees' is directed by Rahul Dholakia and is slated to clash with Hrithik Roshan's 'Kaabil' on January 25, 2017.

In December, Shah Rukh Khan assured Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray that Mahira Khan will not come to India for promoting the film.
In view of SRK's clarifications, the MNS will not oppose the January 25 release or screening of 'Raees' in cinema halls.

After September 18 Uri attack that left 19 Indian soldiers dead and the September 28 surgical strikes by India on Pakistan terror camps, the MNS had strongly protested against hiring of Pakistani actors by Indian film-makers.
Thackeray had vowed to stop release of a few films in which Pakistani actors are playing roles, including Karan Johar's 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' featuring Pakistani actor Fawad Khan and SRK's 'Raees' which has cast Mahira Khan.
