Sidharth Malhotra has reportedly shown a strong interest in the franchise and has been in talks with Taurani for some time, according to a Pinkvilla article. According to a source of the project, “Ramesh Taurani is working with experienced writers and directors to develop a compelling screenplay, in addition to his in-house writers who are working on the basic plot.” Additionally, he has started talks with Sidharth Malhotra for another lead role with Saif Ali Khan in the lead role as the writing process moves forward.
In order to start filming in the first half of 2025, the production is getting ready. Right now, the group is working to polish the script and set the stage for an exciting new chapter in the Race story.
The Race series has always been marked by the dynamic and frequently hostile relationships between its male characters. From Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna in Race to Saif and John Abraham in Race 2 and Salman Khan and Bobby Deol in Race 3, the series has regularly produced high-stakes confrontations.
Race 4 will continue the same pattern with Saif and Sidharth facing off. According to the source, “Keeping true to the core values of the franchise, Race 4 will feature an encounter between two strong-headed men.” It’s a straightforward two-hero film, with both leads possessing shades of gray.”
Aside from the major conflict, Race 4 boasts a superb ensemble cast and a mix of thrills and elegance. The insider continued: “The film is being planned on a grand scale, and Ramesh Taurani and his team have immense faith in the franchise.”
Saif and Sidharth are likely to sign on to the project once the final script is completed, which is expected around November 2024. While the actors have expressed an interest, their official commitment will be contingent on their pleasure with the narrative.
