Mumbai: The action, thriller movie Race is coming back in its sequel as Race 2. Race had lots of suspense and stunts, its producer Ramesh Taurani promises more thrills and action in its sequel Race 2 that will go on floors early next year with actors Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor in the main leads.

Abbas-Mustan who had made the 2007 hit Race, will be directing the sequel of Race, but producer Taurani is not sure about the leading ladies and also whether Kareena Kapoor would be signed on for the sequel. Race 2 will go on floors by February or March 2010.

The film will certainly be bigger and better than the first part.The climax of Race was open-ended and two of the protagonists Akshaye Khanna and Katrina Kaif who were supposedly killed weren't actually shown dead on screen. Also, the relationship between the other two characters - Saif and Bipasha Basu too had been left open for speculation.

"Along with Saif, even Anil Kapoor is finalised for Race 2. These two are central characters of the film and cannot be done away with. For the rest of the cast, the decision would be taken once the script is finalised.

There have been reports that Kareena may team up with Saif in the film, but Taurani maintains no actress has been signed on so far.
Moreover, its not sure whether Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif or Akshaye Khanna would be repeated in the sequel or if Kareena Kapoor would be added to the cast or would replace any of the earlier leading ladies.

Lets finish up with the script first then only star casts would be decided accordingly,”quips Taurani.
"I can promise that just like Race, this one too is an expensive thriller and would be shot on a lavish scale in foreign locations. The action too would be many notches higher."says Taurani.
