For the past few days, rumors have circulated about the possibility of Race 4 being in production despite the disappointment that Race 3 brought. Filmfare recently announced that the upcoming movie will see the return of Saif Ali Khan to the franchise that he originally launched but was absent from in the third installment. This news has generated a lot of excitement among fans, as Saif’s character was well-received in the first two films. However, there is more to this update than just that. Saif Ali Khan is set to be joined by a younger actor in a key role for Race 4. The producers are currently searching for a new face to join the cast. There is no confirmation on whether Deepika Padukone, John Abraham, Jacqueline Fernandez, and others will be part of the franchise. However, there are rumors that a filmmaker has been brought on board. It has been confirmed that Race 4 already has a director, and the choice is quite intriguing and distinctive.
According to reports, Nikhil Advani has been appointed as the director of Race 4 and will be leading the franchise forward. Whether Nikhil will adhere to the franchise tradition by retaining the Race 4 title or opt for a new one remains to be determined. No official confirmation has been provided by any party, indicating that the project is still in its early stages. The report also mentions that Race 4 will be action-packed and adrenaline-filled. This action franchise, centered around con artists, focuses on robbery, heists, and high-quality action sequences. The first installment was released in 2008 and starred Akshaye Khanna, Bipasha Basu, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Sameera Reddy, and Saif. The second film, released in 2013, saw Deepika Padukone and John Abraham join Saif. However, Race 3 underwent significant changes by introducing Salman Khan and Bobby Deol, with Anil Kapoor being the only original cast member to return.
