Rakul Preet joins Saif Ali Khan in 'Race 4': Report
What's the story
Reportedly, actor Rakul Preet Singh is all set to join Saif Ali Khan in an upcoming thriller under filmmaker Ramesh Taurani's banner.
Though it hasn't been officially confirmed that the project is Race 4, India Today reported it's highly likely since Khan and Taurani are currently collaborating only on this film.
This would be a new venture for Singh, who has acted in several big-budget films but never in the Race franchise.
Career progression
Singh's excitement and career momentum
An insider close to the production told India Today, "Rakul is set to team up with Saif Ali Khan for an exciting project under Ramesh Taurani's banner. After Mere Husband Ki Biwi's success, she's making smart choices, and this film will only add to her momentum."
The 34-year-old actor has explored diverse genres, showcasing her versatility. With a strong grip on romantic comedies, Race 4 will add another dynamic chapter to her ever-evolving career.
Anticipation build-up
Khan's return to 'Race' franchise and Singh's role
The return of Khan to the Race franchise has already piqued fans' interest. If Singh is indeed confirmed for the film, it could mean a fresh on-screen pairing.
However, it is still not clear if Khan and Singh will be paired opposite each other in the film.
Earlier last year, while confirming that Khan is doing Race 4, producer Taurani told PTI: "Saif will be back in the Race franchise... He did a great job in the first two films."
Career boost
'Race 4' to boost Singh's career post-'Mere Husband Ki Biwi'
Singh's most recent appearance was in Mere Husband Ki Biwi opposite Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar. The film was released earlier this month.
If confirmed, Race 4 could be a major feather in her cap.
While Khan led the first two Race films, the franchise got a new direction with Salman Khan taking over in the third part.
