Race 4: Sidharth Malhotra And Saif Ali Khan's Face-off In Action Thriller? Maker’s Shares Casting Update

Ramesh S. Taurani’s Race 4 is one of the much-awaited action films for 7 years. The Indian neo-noir action crime film series’ next instalment started trending on social media after rumours surfaced in September 2024 about its announcement. However, the biggest question among fans always pinned whether the original cast will return or if Tips Films will introduce an entirely new lineup. Now, addressing the rumours, the production team clarified that Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra are likely to team up for the much-awaited fourth instalment, and no other actors have been approached so far.

On April 6, Tips Films released an official statement on their Instagram handle on behalf of Ramesh Taurani. It confirmed that the producers are currently in talks with Sidharth Malhotra and Saif Ali Khan to join the next instalment of the action-packed franchise. The film is still in the scripting stage, and the team has not approached any other male or female actors yet.

The statement reads, “We would like to clarify that we are currently in discussions only with Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra for the next instalment of the Race franchise (Race 4), which is currently in its scripting phase.” “No other male or female actors have been approached at this stage,” the statement added.

The makers have also requested the media to refrain from spreading unverified information and to wait for official updates from the PR team.

Who was cast in Race 3?

Race 3 was directed by Remo D’Souza and hit cinemas in 2018. The film starred Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, and Daisy Shah. Salman took over the lead role in the popular action-thriller franchise, replacing Saif Ali Khan. He was cast opposite Jacqueline Fernandez, who is 20 years younger. Although their pairing in Kick (2014) was well-received, Race 3 failed to impress at the box office, earning ₹185 crore. If officially confirmed, the Happy Ending actor appears set to return to the role after 12 years.
