Sunny Leone, who features in the remake version of iconic song "Laila Main Laila" says the superstar's wife Gauri Khan told her she is looking amazing in the item number.
"I saw him (Shah Rukh) and his wife (Gauri) during Diwali party at Aamir Khan's house. I asked him how is the song looking he said very sweet, his wife said it is looking really good. I was extremely nervous. She said it's looking amazing," Sunny told PTI.
"When a woman says something is looking good then you know it's looking good otherwise we don't speak, don't make comment. But she said it looks amazing, great. She made me feel better. Even Shah Rukh Khan said it's looking really good," she said.
Dancing to the tunes of Zeenat Aman's 'Laila O Laila' Sunny recreated the iconic song in her own stylish tadka. The song also has the "Jism 2" actress trying to woo King Khan who is seen dressed in black kurta.
"I wish I could pause that moment. I want to believe that we, as actors, do our job, having respect for each other and working towards what we need to accomplish," Sunny said.

The 35-year-old actress couldn't stop heaping praises on the `Badshah of Bollywood'.
"He is extremely professional, very nice, he made me very comfortable as I was very nervous. I had great time working with him...I feel one of the lucky ones," she gushed.
The teaser has generated a lot of thrill and curiosity among fans who want to know if Shah Rukh Khan will after all shake a leg with Sunny in this dance number.
The Indian Express reports:

"The real high point in the song arrives when King Khan walks in with his bodybuilder like gait. Dressed in black kurta and sporting his trending glasses, Raees takes his seat catching Sunny's attention. And long before you can blink, Sunny tries to charm the Badshah of romance. One can see the intense passion as SRK too serenades her but ever so slightly. The mood is nixed by gunshots and SRK firing away bullets."

Even the recently released trailer of "Raees" had a glimpse of Sunny and she says she couldn't have asked for more.
"I was in LA (in US) when the trailer was launched. I will see him (Shah Rukh) next week. I hope I have lived up to the expectations of Excel Entertainment (producers) and Shah Rukh," the Canadian-Indian actress.
Rahul Dholakia-directed "Raaes" releases on January 25.
