Shah Rukh Khan says ‘Raees’ shouldn’t be compared to ‘Sultan’ and ‘Dangal’

Shah Rukh Khan-starrer ‘Raees’ is doing quite well at the box office. However, the film has not collected anything near to Salman Khan-starrer ‘Sultan’ and Aamir Khan-starrer ‘Dangal’. Recently, at the success party of the film, SRK stated that his film should not be compared to bigger hits like ‘Sultan’ and ‘Dangal’.

The actor said, “Why should we compare with only the last big hit, like ‘Dangal’ and ‘Sultan’ which are much bigger hits than perhaps this film can ever be. We know that. That comparison from outside, very good. From inside, we know the truth that there is a limit it will go to and if it reaches we will be happy.” (Also Read: Nawazuddin Siddiqui: Shah Rukh Khan has the daring to do a negative role)

The actor, who is also the co-producer of the movie, stated, “Every film has its own business, has its place. We have had films which are different and niche. To measure every film with the same barometer is weird. Having said that it will have its own limited business. At this point in time we are a little beyond that also. Business wise, it is better than what we expected, collection figures notwithstanding. It’s nice to know everything is going well. If I start comparing, then sky is the limit.”

Shah Rukh Khan stated that they are happy that the film is being liked by people. He said, “We really thought that the film will be liked by people and that’s the biggest thing. This is kind of a good mix so it feels very nice. Our film was delayed, there were some issues too but I am very happy everything has turned out good.”

‘Raees’ also stars Mahira Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sunny Leone (special number).
