Revealed! Details about Salman Khan’s character in ‘Race 3’

Until now, there were only speculations that Salman Khan would be a part of the much-awaited ‘Race 3’, which were confirmed only recently. And now, we have come concrete details about the superstar’s character in the movie.

A source close to the development revealed, “Earlier Salman has always maintained that he won’t do dark characters or do a negative role but then as they say an actor can never say never. The role is very exciting and has many shades. It is not a sequel to ‘Race 2’ but very different. The role will test the superstar’s acting skills as it’s a complete contrast to what he is himself in real life. It’s something he has never played before but the sheer darkness of the character appealed to him immensely. Apparently ‘Race 3’ was earlier offered to Hrithik Roshan but he felt he cannot play such an immoral character. Considering that Hrithik played a professional thief one wonders at his definition of immoral. Maybe he just wants to play do-gooder roles now. This character that Salman plays in ‘Race 3’ is completely grey but that’s what Race is all about no – where all the characters are grey and there are only anti-heros? Salman is excited about ‘Race 3’ as it’s in a completely commercial genre and neither will his fans be disappointed.”

Filmmaker Ramesh Taurani added to it, saying, “Yes Salman’s character is completely grey in Race 3 and it’s an extremely slick, stylish and exciting one – something he has not done before. The Race franchise always has grey characters in them – we are just continuing with that. Like Saif (Ali Khan) in Race or Race 2.”

He further rubished reports about Hrithik ever being approached for the movie, which will hit the theatres in 2018.Credits: Pinkvilla
