'Race 4,' 'Soldier 2' scripts ready for production: Ramesh Taurani
Veteran producer Ramesh Taurani has confirmed to PTI that the script for the fourth installment of the action crime franchise Race is ready. His production company, Tips Films, is also developing sequels for Soldier and Bhoot Police. The first two Race films were directed by Abbas-Mustan and starred Saif Ali Khan, while Salman Khan featured in the third part directed by Remo D'Souza. While the first two had a decent response, Race 3 became a spoof on social media.
Casting and production details for 'Race 4' awaited
Taurani revealed to PTI, "The script is ready for the next 'Race' installment, we will announce the casting of the film soon. The cast will be new. I can't comment on whether Salman Khan will be part of it or not." "It will go on floors by the end of the year. It's not decided yet who will direct it." Race was released in 2008, Race 2 followed in 2013, and Race 3 arrived in 2018.
Sequels for 'Bhoot Police' and 'Soldier' in the pipeline
Taurani also confirmed plans to create sequels for Bhoot Police and Soldier. Official announcements regarding these projects are expected soon. The 1998 action thriller Soldier, starring Bobby Deol and Preity Zinta, was a high grosser of its release year. Meanwhile, the 2021 adventure-horror-comedy Bhoot Police, featuring Saif and Arjun Kapoor, was released directly on Disney+ Hotstar.
