One of the most awaited sequels is Race 2. After the super response to Race, the combo of director duo Abbas-Mustan and producer Ramesh Taurani (Tips) is all set to return with yet another high octane thriller. The casting of Race 2 has been a much talked about topic among industry folks and on last count it was heard that Anil Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham are part of the project while the leading ladies were yet to be finalized.

However, the latest is that the makers have just signed Priyanka Chopra for one of the main female leads. Confirming this, producer Ramesh Taurani says, "Yes Priyanka Chopra has been finalized for Race 2 while we are still on the look out for 2 more heroines." On being asked, whom the actress was paired opposite, Taurani said, "That you will have to wait and watch as Race 2 is also full of twists and turns."

Taurani also denied the rumours doing the rounds about Saif walking out of the project. "All these stories are completely false. Saif is very much a part of Race 2. He along with Anil Kapoor, John Abraham, and now Priyanka Chopra are the actors who are confirmed on board."

With Priyanka joining the cast, Race 2 only gets hotter and hotter. We can't wait!
