Buzz is that Saif Ali Khan has opted out of Ramesh Taurani's Race 2. The Chhote Nawab has no dates for the film, with his calendar blocked with Vishal Bhardwaj and Kunal Kohli's next.

Since the Race sequel is still in pre-production stages, Saif thought it would be wise to opt out at an early stage.

Chances are that Abhishek Bachchan might step into his shoes. Uh-oh, does this mean now Bebo won't be a part of the film?
