Saif Ali Khan

He also added, "I didn't feel a connection myself with the part I was offered. So, I decided to do something else."

Amitabh Bachchan 

Yes, if Amitabh Bachchan was agreed to be in the film, Race 3 would've been the reunion of Bachchan and Bhaijaan after long 10 years on silver screen.
