Interestingly, Raees was recently caught in the line of fire after a ban was imposed on Pakistani artists, a repercussion of the Uri attacks in Kashmir. While Ae Dil Hai Mushkil has managed to smoothly sail through posting decent collections, Raees has faced much delay in release already. The film is currently in its final stages and is expected to release in the first half of 2017.
