Now, producer Ramesh Taurani has expressed his excitement about having Saif back for Race 4. He also revealed that the official announcement of the film will be made before it goes on floors.

Earlier, Pinkvilla exclusively reported that Sidharth Malhotra was in advanced talks to join Saif Ali Khan in Race 4.

The source continued, "While the writing work is on, he has initiated conversations with Sidharth Malhotra to play the leading man of Race 4 alongside Saif Ali Khan. Sid is a big fan of the Race franchise and is interested in doing the film."
We also disclosed that Saif and Sidharth’s characters will be having a face-off in Race 4, just like with the heroes in the previous films. The source said, “It’s a pure two-hero film, with both the characters having shades of gray.”
