Aditya Pancholi's name has recently been in the news owing to Kangana Ranaut. But apparently, the actor is now making news for some completely different reasons. Aditya has reportedly started doing yoga again and has given up smoking and apparently, it’s for a film. While there's news that Jacqueline Fernandez has been cast in 'Race 3', there's also gossip that Aditya might come back to the screen starring as the villain in the film.

A source close to the film revealed, “Only Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez have been announced as the principle cast of Race 3 till now as the makers have maintained a tight-lipped silence about it. Buzz is that Salman is putting the project together and he wants to make the announcements next month once everything is finalized. Till then, he has asked the makers to keep everything under wraps. Aditya is very close to Ramesh Taurani and Salman, as they have acted together in Bodyguard, Hero and Jai Ho and Aditya’s son had debuted as an actor in Salman’s home production Hero (2017). While the story of Race 3 is completely different from Race and Race 2, there’s a strong possibility that Aditya may play a ruthlessly negative character in Race 3, he won’t play stylish mafia head Godfather Anza, which he had played in Race 2.”

When Aditya was quizzed about the topic he stated, “Nobody has been approached me as yet for Race 3. I have to first get into shape before I sign any film. I can’t face the camera in the shape I am right now. I have started doing yoga, jogging and walking again and looking after myself. I have my yoga Sir. I have never worked out in a gym. If I go it’s only for jogging and weight-lifting. I take my inspiration from my son Sooraj who has been into fitness from the age of 14. I have quit smoking from this week. I haven’t missed it at all. I guess it’s all in the mind.”

Producer Ramesh Taurani stated, “It’s not true. Aditya’s not there in the film. There's lots of talk happening about the casting but only Salman and Jacqueline has signed the film.”
