Explains Saif, "They understand the pulse of plot. Race was a fast-paced action-adventure caper. Not too many filmmakers in Bollywood would've done such a wonderful job of it."
Apparently the producers and the usually-affable directorial duo had certain issues to be resolved. And if Saif had not intervened the film would've gone from Abbas-Mustan's hands.
But Saif is keen to revive the Race magic with Abbas-Mustan, not only because the first part of the film was a blockbuster, but also because lady-love Kareena Kapoor co-stars with him.
Says Saif, "Yes Kareena will be part of Race. We're yet to flesh out the details. But Race 2 has to be bigger and larger than Race. Otherwise no point in making it."
Apparently Race 2 will be more gadget and gizmo-friendly, as upwardly-scaled as Dhoom 2 was as compared with Dhoom.
Bipasha's character has been written out of the script to make way for Kareena.
