First reports out of Bollywood were saying that real life couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan had signed on to star in the sequel of the 2008 movie Race starring Saif Ali Khan, Akshaye Khanna, Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Anil Kapoor and Sameera Reddy.
Then the buzz was that director duo Abaas Mustan wanted to cast Saif Ali Khan and Anil Kapoor and give the rest of the cast the boot! That would mean that Kat wasn't coming back, which would make sense as she dies in the first movie, but Bips would also be left out.
As if that wasn't enough, Bollywood hunk John Abraham was rumored to play a bad boy in the sequel. With his much appreciated acting as a villain in films such as Dhoom, it made perfect sense that he would be cast as a villain in Race 2. But John's name is no longer in the race, so to speak.
Priyanka Chopra was also considered for a part and the Bollywood belle sure makes the perfect candidate to join the cast of Race 2. It was first reported that Priyanka was very excited about getting this offer and was trying to find dates to work on the movie.
But now another name has surfaced and it's not Priyanka's! The latest rumor out of B-town is that Deepika Padukone will take on the role that PC was supposed to play. Confused yet? Well, Priyanka has been busy shooting Saat Khoon Maaf and is currently in Germany filming Don 2 with Shahrukh Khan, so the question is if the actress has the time and motivation to shoot another sequel right after this one?
Which is your dream cast for Race 2? Do you think Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor are a good choice to replace Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif? Do you think Dips and Bebo will be a hit or a miss in Race 2?
