Movie 'Race 4' in scripting stages, expected to roll out soon

After Race 3 flopped at the box office in 2018, there were speculations on whether the fourth film would take place or not, however, the movie ‘Race 4’ is in the scripting stages.

A source close to the development stated that the movie is being scripted by Shiraz Ahmed, who has worked on the earlier three installments of the film. The film is expected to roll by this year’s end, however, things also depend on the Covid-19 situation then.

It is still unclear whether Saif Ali Khan, who was the lead in Race and Race 2, will be back for the fourth, or if Salman Khan will be continuing where he left off in Race 3. The first two films were directed by Abbas-Mustan, while the third was helmed by Remo D’Souza.

Race is one of the most popular film franchises in India. The last installment of this action-thriller series had featured Salman Khan in the lead. The first Race was released in 2008 and starred Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna, and Sameera Reddy.

The second Race hit the screens in 2013, and featured Jacqueline Fernandez, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, alongside Anil Kapoor, Ameesha Patel, and Saif Ali Khan. Along with Salman Khan, Race 3 was a reboot of the entire series and saw Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem with Anil Kapoor, and Bobby Deol.
