Race 3: Saif Ali Khan refused the movie, and we know WHY

Saif Ali Khan has been a part of both editions of action thriller franchise ‘Race’. Hence, when producer Ramesh Taurani announced the third instalment, we quite thought he was on board this time as well.

Along with Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez playing the leads, however, the rest of the cast didn’t include Saif. We later came to know that he was offered a role which he turned down. (Also See: Saif Ali Khan wants LOTS of MONEY to endorse a brand with Kareena and Taimur)

At a press conference wherein he was promoting his upcoming release ‘Kaalakaandi’, Saif revealed the reason too.

“Ramesh Taurani said I’m making a completely different movie this time with a totally different story. I was offered a part but Salman Khan is the best thing to happen to anybody. He’s the biggest star in the country,” he said.

‘Race 3’ is being helmed by director-choreographer Remo D’Souza and will hut the screens on June 14, 2018.
