Wanted to make “Raees” a controversy-free film : Rahul Dholakia

His movies have had political undertones and have often run into some trouble but filmmaker Rahul Dholakia says his intention behind “Raees” was to make a controversy-free film.

Dholakia’s film “Parzania”, about a missing boy in Gujarat riots, had to face an unofficial ban in the state owing to it’s topic during its release.

His follow up film “Lamha” was set in Kashmir and explored the story of an intelligence agent investigating people responsible for the extremist attacks there.

“‘Raees’ has got less politics because I wanted to make a non-controversial film,” Dholakia says about the crime- thriller, set in 1980s Gujarat.
