SRK's Raees Girl Has Teething Problems
Now it can be disclosed. Pakistan's charismatic actress, Mahira Khan, went through a gruelling period of adjustment while shooting for the initial shooting schedules of her Bollywood debut vehicle Raees, in which she teams up with Shah Rukh Khan.

It has been learnt that the camera and sound crews of Raees had a tough time, ensuring that Mahira faced the lighting correctly and that her voice was properly recorded for the on-the-spot sync sound.

Often, the actress' face tended to be in the shadows while her dialogue was so soft that she had to be requested to raise her voice so that she was audible. This inevitably required retakes galore.

All's well though. With patience and constant encouragement from director Rahul Dholakia and Shah Rukh, she has delivered an impactful performance in the scenes assigned to her till now. The next Raees schedule is expected to start in October.

According to an eyewitness at the shooting spells of Raees, "At the outset, Mahira did seem to be a problem, technically. Perhaps that was because our style of filmmaking demands immediate dialogue clarity and the skill to come off in a flattering light before the camera."

The 30-year-old television and film actress has impressed audiences at home and in India, thanks largely to the film Bol which was released in India, as well as the TV series Humsafar that became a rage with Asian viewers the world over.
