The script for Race 4 is currently in development, with the basic plot already locked. The source added, “While the basic plot of Race 4 is locked, the team is presently working on the screenplay. Apart from Saif Ali Khan, a big ensemble will come on board and the casting is also underway. The makers are also looking to reboot it by getting in a fresh and credible voice to direct the film.”
Discussions are ongoing with several established filmmakers to helm Race 4, which might also carry the title Race Reboot. “Race is a dear franchise, and the makers are leaving no stone unturned to bring it back to the audience with the OG, Saif Ali Khan in lead,” the source concluded.
