New Delhi: The first teaser of Raees shows Shah Rukh Khan's journey from a bootlegger to a gangster and finally a politician of reckoning.

The teaser was posted on Twitter by SRK himself who claimed to be taking a 'day off' in Bulgaria where he is currently shooting for Dilwale.
 

Set in the backdrop of a strife-torn Gujarat, the teaser features SRK in the titular role of Raees for whom 'no occupation is too small and no religion bigger than his occupation.'

RK had tweeted the film's first posters a few hours before the teaser.
 
 



Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the film also co-stars Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui and will tentatively hit screens in Eid 2016.
