Superstar Salman Khan will be foraying into film distribution with his upcoming Eid release Race 3. The movie is jointly produced by Salman Khan Films headed by Salman’s mother Salma Khan, will be distributed by his father Salim Khan, who will look into it himself. Two leading distributors were contesting to bag the distribution rights of the movie. However, Salman Khan inked the deal himself, the film’s spokesperson said in a statement.
The movie’s trailer released a few days ago and since then has been making the right kind of noise among the audiences. Race 3 is the third installment in the thriller franchise, which earlier featured Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. While the first two films had a connected storyline, Race 3 has a completely new plot with new star cast lead by Salman Khan.
Along with Salman Khan, the film features Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Freddy Daruwala and Saqib Saleem in lead roles.
When asked how he came on board of the franchise, Salman Khan told reporters at the trailer launch, “Race 3 script was offered to me two years ago but I didn’t think I fit in the genre. I asked Ramesh Taurani to make some changes because I didn’t fit in that genre. Once that was done, I thought it would be actually a lot of fun to do this film.”
Earlier, Remo D’Souza, on working with Salman Khan, had said, “I don’t have words to express how it feels to work with him. As a director, I can’t say that it was amazing, really, there are no words. You have to be with him, be on the set. When you stand before him, then you realize what you are doing.”
Race 3 is directed by Remo D’Souza and co-produced by Ramesh Taurani under the banner of Tips Films, the film will be theatres on June 15.
