Shah Rukh Khan has not been promoting his upcoming film 'Raees' with co-star Mahira Khan in India because the pressure political pressures are high. But they are not promoting together in Dubai too.

As earlier reported, the stars would be jointly promoting the film in Dubai but everything is changed.

According to a source from Dubai, “Mahira has been quietly stationed in Dubai for almost a week meeting with the Dubai media and doing radio and other interviews there. She has been spotted in various parts of Dubai all over the week. Mahira was to join SRK on Friday for the press con at the Bollywood Parks but kept away at the last moment as the Raees team feared a backlash back in India. The Raees promotional team traveling in Dubai has been told to strictly keep everything under wraps and not let the media know that Mahira is in Dubai or whether she will be joining the team today on January 22. While questions were asked on working with Mahira in Raees nobody in the media asked the Raees team comprising of Shah Rukh Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, director Rahul Dholakia or producer Ritesh Sidhwani why she wasn’t there. Even the media there know she’s in town but don’t know why she’s not coming for the press cons. Her disappearance there is a mystery which the Raees team is unwilling to unfold right now. Later in the evening, Mahira didn’t go with the team for a radio chat show.”

The source added, “The actress later did a solo press con in Dubai that evening. She is expected to make a sudden appearance with the Raees team today at the press con at a luxury hotel later in the day. It's become a guessing game with the Dubai media now - Mahira will come or not! It all depends on how the Indian media takes it up here. The Raees team wants to avoid a controversy at all costs right now in the release week and if it means not using Mahira and SRK together to jointly promote the film, then so be it.”
