Race 3
A post shared by Salman Khan (@beingsalmankhan) on
The action-thriller franchise directed by Remo D’Souza is one of the most intriguing films of the year. The entire star cast (except Anil Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez) is changed. The iconic duo of Abbaz-Mustan is no longer behind the camera as the director of the film and it has Salman Khan essaying the role of the lead actor. There are many reasons to watch this film, be it Salman’s action packed avatar, the style quotient in the film or Remo’s direction. But most importantly, it’s Race 3, one of the coolest action-thriller franchise of Bollywood. And what would be better than to release a Salman film on the occasion of Eid. Race 3 is scheduled to release on Eid 2018.
