RACE 3'S LATEST CASTING UPDATES HAS LEFT US COMPLETELY CONFUSED!

Salman Khan's Race 3 stirring up B-Town and how! The cast of the film still remains unclear and every other day we hear about some or the other actor being approached for the film and to just add to fuel to the confusion, comes another bunch of casting news that will leave you confused if you should be happy or sad.

After names of stars like Amitabh Bachchan, Jacquliene Fernandez and Sidharth Malhotra doing the rounds, it seems that Daisy Shah could be the second female lead. The actress has been telling friends in her close circle that she has signed a very big film but waiting for the announcement to come from the producer while another new addition to the mega cast could be Sooraj Pancholi, whom Salman is very fond of. The super star is reported to be calling the shots in the casting and production aspects as he has already got Remo D’Souza on board as director so Sooraj will be just another part of it.

A trade source revealed details on the developments and was quoted saying, “Sooraj is very close to Salman and there’s buzz that apart from Daisy, the super star also wants Sooraj in the film. It’s a specially written role for the young actor and will see him doing lots of stylized action. Sooraj is extremely excited about it and has been telling his close friends and family about it. Salman is very protective of Sooraj ever since he launched him in his home production Hero and was planning to do another film with him again as he feels Sooraj is extremely talented but has never really got his due. Sooraj is immensely popular on social media and has a huge fan following (1.3 million on Instagram) and very popular with the youth. He recently accompanied Salman to the Da-Bangg shows in London and was a big hit there.”

However, Anil Kapoor fans will be disappointed as the Mubarakan actor won’t be seen in Race 3 anymore! The source added, “Race 3 is a completely different story from Race and Race 2 and Anil’s character is not there in Race 3. In the earlier Race films, Anil had played Robert D’Costa aka RD, a private detective who acts stupid but is sharp and resourceful and quick and his appearance helps to unravel one lie after the other. It was one with grey shades but as the story line is completely different there is no scope for him to be in the film.”

On the other hand, producer Ramesh Taurani said, “Sooraj is not in Race 3 as of now. No cast has been finalized till now except Salman and Jacqueline. We will make an announcement shortly.” To sum up things, Amitabh Bachchan, Sooraj Pancholi, Sidharth Malhotra and Daisy Shah still remains uncertain while only Jacqueline and Salman have been finalised but Salman also wants Katrina to be a part of the film!

Whoa! This confusion seems never-ending and we guess we'll have to wait for an official announcement to settle all these rumours once and for all.
