After finishing off his Gujarat schedule, superstar Shah Rukh Khan has returned to Mumbai to shoot for his upcoming film Raees.

The film is set in the 1980s and sees Shah Rukh playing a gray shade in it. It will feature him in the role of a smuggler, who deals in supplying illegal alcohol. Already having garnered enough attention after its teaser was released, the film has become one of Khan's most awaited films of the year.

According to Indian Express, in the released photographs from the movie set, Shah Rukh is seen in a vintage jeep with Mahira in the passenger seat, holding a baby in her arms. The duo is seen lost in conversation with each other in the photo. Though the script is under wraps, a lot has been given away about Shah Rukh's character.
