Now, producer Ramesh Taurani and Tips Films have stepped in to address the ongoing chatter. In a statement shared on Instagram, the production house clarified that the casting process is still underway, with no actor officially locked in place.

"We'd like to set the record straight," the statement read. "The cast of Race 4 has not yet been finalized. We sincerely request the media and social media pages to refrain from speculation and from engaging with or circulating any unverified or false news regarding the cast."

The question of who will headline Race 4 remains a topic of discussion among fans of the franchise, with Saif Ali Khan's tenure as the lead in the first two films serving as a benchmark. Salman Khan took over the role in Race 3, and since then, several actors have been linked to the fourth installment.

Aamir Khan's name recently emerged in reports, while Tiger Shroff and Sidharth Malhotra have also previously been associated with the project. With Race 4 still in the casting stage, fans will have to wait for an official word from the makers before knowing who will take the franchise forward.
