Check out Salman Khan's welcome post for Anil Kapoor:
And Anil Kapoor replied:
Anil Kapoor, 60, played the role private detective Robert D'Costa aka R.D in the previous two films. But we have an inkling that RD will also get a transformation because Salman demanded
Race 3 to be a film for 'family audience' but RD's dialogues comprised most of the cringe-worthy double entendres in the script.
Race 3 also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem and Pooja Hegde. The
film went on floors in November and it is expected to hit the screens in the first half of 2018.
But before
Race 3, Salman Khan will be seen in
Tiger Zinda hai, which releases later this month. The film is a sequel to 2012's
Ek Tha Tiger and also stars Katrina Kaif. As for Anil Kapoor, the actor is currently filming
Fanne Khan, which is also trending today for its new logo.
Fanne Khan also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Rajkummar Rao.
