Producer Ramesh Taurani has confirmed that the thriller franchise Race will return with its fourth installment. While Saif Ali Khan headlined the first two films and Salman Khan led ‘Race 3’, Taurani has now reacted to whether Salman Khan will be returning to the franchise.
“The script is ready for the next ‘Race’ installment, and we will announce the casting of the film soon.The cast will be new. I can’t comment on whether Salman Khan will be part of it or not. It will go on floors by the end of the year. It’s not decided yet who will direct it,” Taurani told PTI.
For the uninitiated, the first ‘Race’ starred Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, and Bipasha Basu in prominent roles. The second installment saw Saif Ali Khan joined by John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, and Jacqueline Fernandez as the leads. Both films were directed by Abbas Mustan. ‘Race 3’, directed by Remo D’Souza, was headlined by Salman Khan, with Bobby Deol playing the antagonist.
Meanwhile, Taurani also confirmed plans for sequels to ‘Bhoot Police’ and ‘Soldier’, mentioning that an official announcement regarding these projects will be made soon.
Ramesh Taurani also confirmed a collaboration between Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan. “We are doing an entertainer movie with a love story and great music with Varun Dhawan and David Dhawan. It will go on floors soon,” said the producer. He also added that they are yet to finalize the film’s female lead.
Taurani noted that the trend of making sequels began around 2009–2010 with films like Race and Dhoom, and since then, sequels have become more common. He emphasized the importance of paying close attention to the script when creating a sequel, as the original film carries significant brand value.
On the other hand, Taurani is making headlines for his recently released ‘Ishq Vishk Rebound’, starring Rohit Saraf, Pashmina Roshan, Jibraan Khan, and Naila Grrewal. The film is the sequel to Shahid Kapoor’s Ishq Vishk.
