Superstar Shah Rukh Khan says he was late for a shoot of his upcoming film "Raees" directed by Rahul Dholakia.

The 49-year-old took to micro-blogging website Twitter to share: "Bak 2 Raees shoot. My director Rahul (naam toh suna hoga) must be fuming for delay by more than hour. Will make up by working harder now."

"Raees", an action thriller, will see Shah Rukh playing a gangster. Slated to release on Eid next year, it also features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Pakistani actress Mahira Khan.
