EXCLUSIVE: Sidharth Malhotra in talks to join Saif Ali Khan in Race 4; Filming begins in 2025

As a die-hard fan of the Race franchise who has eagerly followed its twists and turns since its inception, I must say that the prospect of seeing Saif Ali Khan return, along with the addition of Sidharth Malhotra to the cast for Race 4, is nothing short of exhilarating. The idea of these two powerhouse actors going head-to-head in a cat-and-mouse game, each with their own shades of grey, promises to deliver an unparalleled level of suspense and intrigue.


Previously this week, TopMob revealed that Saif Ali Khan is set to rejoin the Race series with Race 4. Producers, led by Ramesh Taurani, aim to revive the franchise by incorporating original cast members. We previously shared that production will begin in early 2025, as the crew is currently fine-tuning the film’s script. Now, we can exclusively reveal that discussions are underway between Ramesh Taurani and his team for Sidharth Malhotra to join Race 4.

Based on insider reports, it appears that Sidharth Malhotra has expressed interest in starring in Race 4, and discussions about this have been going on with producer Ramesh Taurani for some time. According to our source, Ramesh Taurani has a team of writers within his company creating the foundation for Race 4’s storyline. He has also enlisted experienced writers and directors to develop it into a full screenplay. As the writing process continues, Ramesh Taurani has reportedly begun talks with Sidharth Malhotra about him taking on the lead role in Race 4 alongside Saif Ali Khan. It’s said that Sidharth is a fan of the Race Franchise and is keen to be part of this film.

The source further stated that the Race series has consistently featured battles between two determined individuals – such as Saif Ali Khan versus Akshaye Khanna in Race, and then Saif Ali Khan against John Abraham in Race 2, culminating in Salman Khan and Bobby Deol in the third installment. Maintaining the essence of this franchise, the fourth part is set to be a revival with Saif and Sid squaring off. It’s a straightforward two-lead film, with both characters possessing elements of both light and darkness. This was also mentioned by the source.

“Besides its two leading characters, Movie 4 will feature a powerful group cast and promises excitement and glitz. According to our source, the makers – led by Ramesh Taurani – are planning a grand production, placing their trust in the franchise.”
