It is the sequel to the 2008 hit film, Race, and stars an ensemble cast that includes Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel.


According to pakium.com, Aslam, who has given various hits like “Tere Bin”, “Tera Honay Laga Hun” and “Tu Mohabbat Hai”, is set to do two new songs for the film.
