In a statement shared on Instagram, Taurani said, “We would like to clarify that the cast of Race 4 has not yet been finalized.

This is not the first time that speculation has surrounded the casting of the action thriller.
Earlier in January, there were reports that Akshaye Khanna, whose character died in Race, could return for ‘Race 4’.
However, Taurani clarified, “No, we have not approached Akshaye. There was no scope at all.”
Asked if the story could be reworked to bring his character back, the filmmaker said there were no such plans.
“There is no thought about getting him. His character gets into an accident in the first movie, his track ended there, and it will remain at that,” he said.
Sidharth Malhotra and Tiger Shroff have also been linked to the project, with reports suggesting that they have heard the script. However, neither actor’s involvement has been officially confirmed.
