Sidharth Malhotra to be a part of Race 4?

According to a Pinkvilla report, Ramesh Taurani and his team are in advanced talks with Sidharth Malhotra for Race 4. As per a source, Malhotra has shown interest in doing the film and has been in discussions with the producer for a while now.

"While the writing work is on, he has initiated conversations with Sidharth Malhotra to play the leading man of Race 4 alongside Saif Ali Khan. Sid is a big fan of the Race franchise and is interested in doing the film," a source told the entertainment portal. The film is being planned on a grand scale.

Much like the previous installments, Race 4 will most likely feature a strong face-off between two strong-headed men.
