Race 3 became a
hot topic as soon as it was announced that Salman Khan will lead the cast.
Then Jacqueline Fernandez and Daisy Shah joined the cast. Then
came the question, will Salman romance both of them in the thriller franchise.
We can tell you
that the makers have approached another star to play the second male lead in
the film, and he will be paired with Daisy in the film.
Emraan Hashmi
It is none other
than Emraan Hashmi. The actor’s last release Baadshaho, a period drama set
during the emergency of 1975, set the cash registers ringing and his
performance caught the eye of producer Ramesh Taurani.
Emraan has been
given a narration and he has liked the role. The modalities are fast being
worked out even though the actor is yet to sign on the dotted line.
Daisy Shah
The third film in the blockbuster franchise will be helmed by Remo D'Souza and after wrapping up Tiger Zinda Hai, Salman will kick-start Race 3.
The first film in
the Race franchise had hit theatres in 2008 and featured Saif Ali Khan, Bipasha
Basu, Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Sameera Reddy in pivotal
roles. The second instalment of the franchise was directed by Abbas-Mustan and
once again starred Saif and Anil but accompanying them this time were John
Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Ameesha Patel and Jacqueline.
Jacqueline Fernandez
Daisy, who made
her Bollywood debut opposite him in the 2014 release Jai Ho, got a
recommendation from Salman Khan and no surprises here, the producers
brought her on board pronto.
Salman Khan
Jacqueline
meanwhile was paired opposite Salman in Kick, which too released in 2014 and
they once again shared the screen in Judwaa 2, where the superstar made a
special appearance.
