Race 3 is directed by Remo D’Souza and also stars Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem. According to reports, the film will release in 3D which will make it one of the first Bollywood action films to do so.

Giving an insight into the thriller, Jacqueline said, “Race 3 is not a continuation of Race 2. It is a different story of a family where the narration has elements of mystery, power struggle, betrayal and suspense.”
