Mumbai, Jan 6 (IANS): Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who will star with Pakistani actress Mahira Khan and acclaimed Indian actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui in the forthcoming film "Raees", is all praise for them, and says now he would have to pull up his socks to perform as well as the duo.

"Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Mahira Khan are there in the film (Raees). Both of them are very accomplished actors. I think the cast is really wonderful," Shah Rukh said here Monday at the launch of Dabboo Ratnani's annual calendar.

"Now I would have to excel and perform like them,", added the actor, who is set to join the film's shoot by March end.

    Sharukh is more commercial but Amir is more realistic.
