Shah Rukh takes on the role of Raees, a man who built an entire empire from scratch in early 1980s to 1990s Gujarat.

Raees gains popularity and trust through his sharp, entrepreneurial and business mind, eventually turning him into the single most powerful man in the state.

Raees is out on 25 January.
