Raees: When Sunny Leone was Shah Rukh Khan's 'Laila'

Expressing her happiness, the 34-year-old actress recently took to her Twitter handle and shared a pic of herself showing ‘Raees’ batch and wrote, ‘So happy I got to be a part of the 100th day of @RaeesTheFilm with @iamsrk @rahuldholakia @ritesh_sid #thegoodlife.’ Producer Ritesh Sidhwani also took to his Twitter to thank the 'Jism 2' actress for being a "fab Laila O’Laila." Notably, Sunny and King Khan will be dancing on the remix version of the popular song ‘Laila O Laila’ from the movie ‘Qurbani,' which originally featured Feroz Khan and Zeenat Aman.

The movie, which is directed by Rahul Dholakia and produced by Gauri Khan, Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar under their banners Red Chillies Entertainment and Excel Entertainment, also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pakistani actor Mahira Khan in the lead roles. The film is slated to hit theatres on 3 July. "It's a dance track, an item number which is part of the film and not an end-credit song. The set is that of an old retro bar. The situation is that it is a bar where they are selling alcohol in the pretext of selling cold drinks. That is where Sunny is dancing," a source from the set told PTI.

Earlier, a source said: "This is a big leap for Sunny who has so far been avoided by A-list actors because their wives disapproved. Now with Aamir declaring he would love to work with Sunny, Shah Rukh has actually taken the plunge, breaking the taboo created among A-listers regarding Sunny’s past career.”
