Race 4 in scripting stage, to roll out by end of the year

According to sources, Race 4 is in scripting stage and the leads will be casted soon.

After Race 3 was a success at the box office in 2018, there was ample assumption on whether the fourth film was indeed in the works, as scheduled. Well, good news for the fans of the franchise, Race 4 is in the scripting stages.

A source close to the development told Pinkvilla that the film was being scripted by Shiraz Ahmed. “Shiraz, who has worked on the earlier three instalments of the film, is presently working on the fourth part. Producer Ramesh Taurani will zero in on a director soon and will get onto casting only after the final script is locked. The film is expected to roll by this year’s end, however, things also depend on the Covid-19 situation then.”
