Race 3 is three days from release and it has reportedly smashed one record held by Aamir Khan's
Dangal, as per a
mid-day report. Salman Khan Films signed Rs 130 crore deal for
Race 3's satellite rights, which is the highest amount paid for a Bollywood film as of now.
Dangal's satellite rights reportedly closed at Rs 75 crore.

mid-day. Salman Khan and team
Race 3 are definitely looking forward to a fantastic release this Eid.
The trailer of
Race 3 released in April to mixed reactions.
Race 3 trended off again and on again for weeks due to both
severe trolling and appreciation.
There were spectacular action sequences and stunts in the film, which Salman Khan said during promotions, are 100 per cent genuine and with VFX influence. "All the action in the film is not dinky cars, or special effects blowing up, we blew up pretty much that we bought. It is very real and all the cars too. They aren't special effect cars, these are the cars we bought," said Salman, reported news agency PTI. For the finale alone, team
Race 3 sacrificed over 15 luxury cars including Aston Martin, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini.
Apart from
Salman Khan, Race 3 also stars Anil Kapoor,
Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Saqib Saleem and Freddy Daruwala. Producer Ramesh Taurani did not retain anyone from the previous
Race films, except Anil Kapoor and Jacqueline, who will play different characters in reboot version.
