Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 5 (ANI): Nothing has been finalised yet regarding the casting of Race 4.

On Saturday, producer Ramesh Taurani, Tips Films, issued a statement, confirming that only actors Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra have been considered for Race 4 as of now.

'We would like to clarify that we are currently in discussions only with Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra for the next installment of the Race franchise (Race 4), which is currently in its scripting phase. No other male or female actors have been approached at this stage. We sincerely request the media and social media pages to avoid engaging with false news and to wait for an official confirmation from our PR team,' the statement read.

Helmed by the director duo Abbas-Mastan, Race was released in 2008.

It also starred Akshaye Khanna, Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Anil Kapoor and Sameera Reddy in pivotal roles.

The film was followed by a sequel 'Race 2' which also starred John Abraham, Deepika Padukone and Jacqueline Fernandez and a spiritual successor 'Race 3' starring Salman Khan in the lead role.

Meanwhile, Saif is gearing up for the release of his Netflix film 'Jewel Thief'.

The film boasts an ensemble cast, including Jaideep Ahlawat, Kunal Kapoor, and Nikita Dutta, alongside Saif Ali Khan. The teaser, released in February, offered a glimpse into the movie's plot, showcasing Saif and Jaideep's characters joining forces to steal the coveted African Red Sun diamond.

In the coming months, Sidharth will be seen sharing screen space with Janhvi Kapoor in Param Sundari. (ANI)
