Revealed: Nawazuddin Siddiqui crushed over 60,000 alcohol bottles in Raees

Readers may be aware that Shah Rukh Khan aka Raees is a bootlegger and the film has Nawaz chasing him to expose his smuggling activities. Here’s a scene where the cop is seen crushing several alcohol bottles. Apparently, over 60,000 bottles were used in the sequence and Nawaz crushes them in a matter of seconds. However, we hear that it wasn’t easy and the team of the film took days to acquire these many bottles.
