PACY THRILLER WITH HIGH-OCTANE ACTION SCENES

PACY THRILLER WITH HIGH-OCTANE ACTION SCENES

    Unlike its predecessor Race (2008), which got a ‘A’ certificate, Abbas-Mustan’s Race 2 has been issued a ‘U/A’ rating. Says producer Ramesh Taurani, “Apart from the thrills and twists, Race was a comparatively bold film. On the other hand, Race 2 is more of a pacy thriller and I’m sure the ‘U/A’ rating will help us reach a wider audience. Especially those who watch films with their families.”
    For the producer and his directors, the sequel has a dream cast. With Saif Ali Khan, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Jacqueline Fernandez and Ameesha Patel, it is the first multi-starrer of the year. It’s also the first time John will share screen space with Saif and Anil. Adds the producer, “The Saif-Deepika pair looked great together in Love Aaj Kal (2009) and Cocktail (2012), they share a great chemistry. We hope to recreate the magic in our film. I’m one of the first ones to have seen potential in Jacqueline and knew she would become a star. As for Ameesha, we have a good relationship with her. So it wasn’t difficult convincing her.”
    The movie boasts of some high-octane action scenes. The highlights include an extensive chase sequence featuring Saif, another scene has John in a cage fight and the explosive climax, which also features Anil. The girls too shot a number of breath-taking stunts.
    Race 2, produced by Tips Industries Ltd and UTV Motion Pictures, releases today.
