Cinema VinesAamir Khan is set to join Sidharth Malhotra and Tiger Shroff for a fresh take on the long‑running Race franchise. The reboot, which has already attracted buzz from fans of the original films, is said to bring a new flavour to the action‑thriller series that first featured Saif Ali Khan in the first two installments before Salman Khan led the third.
Sources close to the project revealed that Aamir Khan has expressed a keen interest in the script and is actively involved in the writing process. He is working closely with the writers to refine the material, according to a quoted statement to Pinkvilla. “Aamir has liked the script and is very involved in the writing process. He is working closely with the writers to develop the material further,” the source said, adding that the reboot could offer “a completely new flavour” to the franchise.
The makers are aiming for a thriller that is unlike anything previously attempted in India. “It’s a thriller unlike anything done before in India. The idea is to take the franchise into a new space and create something that feels fresh for the audience,” the source added. A strong ensemble is expected, with casting to be announced at the right time.
Director Vijay Krishna Acharya, who has collaborated with Aamir on Dhoom 3 and Thugs of Hindostan, is set to helm the reboot. If Aamir joins, it will be the third action‑thriller partnership between the two. Ramesh Taurani of Tips Films has reportedly begun pre‑production, signalling that the project is moving forward.
With Sidharth Malhotra, Tiger Shroff and potentially Aamir Khan on board, Race Reboot is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated action‑thriller releases in the coming years. The film’s development is described as a “big‑screen thriller with a strong ensemble and a completely fresh flavour,” according to the source, who also noted that Aamir is taking his time to ensure the script meets his standards before committing fully.
