The Race franchise, one of Bollywood’s most popular thriller series, is gearing up for an exciting reboot. Originally directed by Abbas-Mustan, the series first hit screens in 2008, starring Saif Ali Khan in the lead role.

The film’s success led to a sequel in 2013, with Saif reprising his role. However, in 2018, Race 3 saw Salman Khan take over as the lead under the direction of Remo D’Souza. Despite high expectations, the film disappointed fans with its plot and performance at the box office.
