Overview
- Multiple outlets reported on Aug. 28–29 that Aamir Khan is in talks to lead a reboot of the Race franchise and has expressed strong interest in the project.
- Sources say Aamir has liked the script and is actively working with writers to revise material before he will commit to the film.
- Vijay Krishna Acharya is reported to be attached as director and Sidharth Malhotra and Tiger Shroff have been linked to the ensemble by the same industry sources.
- Producer Ramesh Taurani of Tips Films has reportedly begun pre-production work, though no cast or financing deals have been officially confirmed.
- The move is being framed as a reset for Race after a mixed franchise history with the first two films successful and Race 3 under a different lead performing poorly.
