According to Times of India, the Raees makers have decided to shoot Mahira and SRK's songs in Dubai to avoid further trouble. Sources say that Mahira was to shoot in Mumbai for her songs in the film marking her Bollywood debut. But now, they would be shot in Dubai.
Now, that the dust has settled down, the makers of the film decided to shoot the remaining songs with Mahira Khan who plays SRK’s love interest - but outside India and a country where nobody could object. They decided to fly to Dubai first and shoot one song in Abu Dhabi or Bahrain and then fly to Morocco for the second. It is all done with utmost secrecy and is very hush-hush till the songs are shot and the team flies back, so nobody finds out. Whatever patchwork remained was completed few days back with SRK in Mumbai. After the two songs are shot abroad, Raees will be complete.A source
Well, we wish the makers of the film all the very best, and pray for a little common sense in some others.
