Though it’s difficult to figure out who’s double-crossing whom in the series, here are 10 things to know about Race 3:

spells the entry of Salman Khan

It was another Khan — Saif Ali Khan — that catapulted Race into a riveting thriller series to watch out for in Bollywood. After headlining the first two instalments in 2008 and 2013, Saif Ali Khan won’t be a part of the new chapter.

Anil Kapoor, who played a detective in the original, has been retained in Race 3. Jacqueline Fernandez, who played the love interest of John Abraham’s character in Race 2, has also been retained. Remo D’Souza, of ABCD fame, has called the shots in Race 3, replacing director-duo Abbas Mastan.
