Salman Khan will be playing the lead in ‘Race 3’ and the superstar will once again share the screen space with Jacqueline Fernandez.
It has been reported that Salman will consider taking Jacqueline as the heroine of Race 3 only if her movie A Gentleman performs well at the box office. As reported, Salman is being very cautious after the debacle of Tubelight, and so wants an actress who will add more value to Race 3.
“A lot is at stake in Salman’s forthcoming films. He can’t afford to slip up after Tubelight, not for his own sake as much as his audience and distributors. Jacqueline is most keen to be in Race 3. But Salman will exercise that option only if A Gentleman works at the box office,” a source told the Indian publication.
Although Salman had given a big push to Jacqueline’s career by getting her on board for Kick, the report said that she was the choice of producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala.
On the work front,Salman is currently busy promoting her film Tiger Zinda Hai. Directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, the movie is a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger and also features Katrina Kaif. It is slated to be released on December 22.
