Producer Ramesh Taurani is in talks with Aamir Khan, Sidharth Malhotra and Tiger Shroff for a reboot of the Race franchise, Pinkvilla reports. Aamir has liked the script and is working closely with writers to fine-tune it. Vijay Krishna Acharya is set to direct, according to Times of India. The project is at an early stage.
Aamir has a packed schedule, working on Lalkaara and 3 Idiots 2, before committing fully to the reboot. Social media reaction, as reported by m9.news, is mixed: some believe the franchise was ruined by Race 3 and cannot be revived, while others say Aamir's presence may bring audiences. A section of netizens wants Saif Ali Khan to return, but that looks unlikely.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The coverage splits sharply. Pinkvilla and Times of India report the reboot as a straightforward industry development, focusing on Aamir's involvement and the creative process. M9.news frames it as a crisis, leading with Race 3's failure and public doubt, and highlighting director Vijay Krishna Acharya's weak track record. The balanced reading: the project exists but is embryonic, and public sentiment is sceptical. The key date to watch is the first casting announcement, which will test whether the franchise can recover its audience.
