“Our business is our business, none of your business”…might just become everybody’s business because according to media reports the fourth installment of the Race franchise is in the works.

According to a Pinkvilla report, the film is in the scripting stage and is being written by writer Shiraz Ahmed.

“Shiraz, who has worked on the earlier three installments of the film, is presently working on the fourth part. Producer Ramesh Taurani will zero in on a director soon and will get onto casting only after the final script is locked,” Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.

“The film is expected to roll by this year’s end, however, things also depend on the COVID-19 situation then,” the source further added.
