After locking Race 4, reports suggest that Saif Ali Khan is in talks with Ramesh Taurani for another film.
Saif Ali Khan was last seen in Devara: Part 1.
Earlier this year, it was reported that Saif Ali Khan would return to the Race franchise, with Ramesh Taurani planning a Race reboot for 2025. While work on Race 4 is ongoing, reports suggest that Saif is in talks with Taurani for another film. Sources say Saif is considering the official remake of Nani’s 2019 hit, Gang Leader.
“Ramesh Taurani has acquired the rights to remake Gang Leader in Hindi and has initiated conversation with Saif Ali Khan to play the lead. Saif too has shown his interest, and is awaiting to hear the reworked version of the film for Hindi. The makers are presently working to adapt the screenplay in Hindi and a narration shall take place in December,” revealed a source close to the development to Pinkvilla.
The source also mentioned that once Saif Ali Khan agrees to the project, the makers will start casting for the antagonist and female roles. The source said, “While the antagonist turn requires an actor with a suave personality, the casting for female leads is challenging as the script demands actors from all age groups – from 10 years to 80 years – to come on board.”
The source further added, “The idea is to take Gang Leader remake on floors right after Race 4, sometime in the second half of 2025, however, the schedules could change depending on the timelines and logistics of the franchise.”
Saif Ali Khan was last seen in Devara: Part 1. This marked Saif Ali Khan and Janhvi Kapoor’s first Telugu film and it hit theatres in September. He will be seen next in Siddharth Anand’s Jewel Thief. The thriller film will feature the actor racing against time for a rescue operation. Jaideep Ahlawat will reportedly play the antagonist in the film. As per the latest reports, the action thriller film will be directly released on OTT.
