The Race 4 rumour mill has been running at full speed again, especially after chatter spread that Aamir Khan had heard the script and was keen on joining the franchise. With excitement around any possible Aamir comeback mounting quickly online, producer Ramesh Taurani has now stepped in with a firm clarification that cools the latest round of speculation.
Ramesh Taurani Clears The Air On Race 4
In a joint statement shared by Taurani and Tips Films, the producer addressed the speculation directly. He said, “We would like to clarify that the cast of Race 4 has not yet been finalised. 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. Once the cast is finalised, we will make an official announcement from our end (sic).”
The clarification puts a brake on the frenzy around the film and signals that the makers want the conversation to stay rooted in official updates rather than internet momentum.
That clarification arrived after fresh claims suggested Aamir Khan had heard the script and approved the project. Taurani’s statement effectively resets the conversation around Race 4, putting the focus back on the film’s carefully watched development stage.
Earlier Casting Update Had Named Saif Ali Khan And Sidharth Malhotra
This is not the first time Taurani has had to address Race 4 casting noise. In April 2025, he had issued another official clarification while the project was still in its scripting phase. At the time, he said, “We would like to clarify that we are currently in discussions only with Saif Ali Khan and Sidharth Malhotra for the next instalment of the Race franchise (Race 4), which is currently in its scripting phase. No other male or female actors have been approached at this stage. We sincerely request the media and social media pages to avoid engaging with false news and to wait for an official confirmation from our PR team.”
That update had immediately drawn attention because Saif remains one of the franchise’s most recognisable faces, while Sidharth Malhotra’s name signalled a possible new dynamic for the series.
Aamir’s name, though, generated a different scale of buzz altogether. As one of Bollywood’s biggest stars with a selective filmography and a history of event releases, even an unconfirmed link-up with a franchise like Race was enough to send fan speculation soaring.
Aamir Khan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
That spike in curiosity also reflects where Aamir stands right now. His last theatrical release as a lead actor was Laal Singh Chaddha in 2022, and since then, every move around his acting slate has drawn close attention. In the years that followed, his banner stayed active with Laapataa Ladies in 2024, while 2026 also saw him make a special appearance in Happy Patel: Khatarnak Jasoos.
He has also remained in focus because of Lahore 1947, backed by Aamir Khan Productions released recently. He is also slated to start sports biopic Lalkaar to be directed by Ashutosh Gowariker. That mix of selective screen presence and high-interest future projects helps explain why Race 4 rumours picked up so quickly, even before Taurani moved to shut them down.
