Filmmaker Ramesh Taurani earlier confirmed that actor Saif Ali Khan will be returning to lead ‘Race 4’. Now, India Today has exclusively learnt that Rakul Preet Singh might have joined Khan in this anticipated thriller franchise. While the source didn’t confirm that the project Singh has joined is indeed ‘Race 4’, it is likely to be the one, considering Khan and Taurani are working together on only this project right now.
More details about the project have been kept under wraps, but Singh’s entry into the ‘Race’ world definitely makes it look more exciting.
A source close to the production informed us that Singh seems to have been truly excited to do something that she has never done before. While she has acted in many big-budgeted films over the years, entering the ‘Race’ franchise is going to be an interesting challenge for the actor.
The source said, “Rakul is set to team up with Saif Ali Khan for an exciting new project under Ramesh Taurani’s banner. After the success of ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’, she’s making smart choices, and this film will only add to her momentum.”
The 34-year-old has worked in varied genres in the past. She’s known to have a strong hold on the romantic-comedy genre, and ‘Race 4’ will provide a further edge to her versatile career. However, an official announcement is yet to be made by the makers.
Saif Ali Khan’s return to the ‘Race’ franchise has already added a lot of intrigue around this project. If Rakul Preet Singh is joining the film, one can expect a fresh pairing on-screen. It is, however, not clear yet whether the two have been paired together or not.
Earlier last year, while confirming that Khan is doing ‘Race 4’, producer Ramesh Taurani told the news agency PTI: “Saif will be back in the ‘Race’ franchise, and we are excited to have him on board. He did a great job in the first two films. The film will boast an ensemble cast, and we are finalising the script and cast. We haven’t finalised the director either. We will announce the film officially before we go on the floor, most likely next year.”
Meanwhile, Singh was last seen in ‘Mere Husband Ki Biwi’ alongside Arjun Kapoor and Bhumi Pednekar. The film was released earlier this month. ‘Race 4’ is going to be a fantastic addition to her resume.

Rakul Preet Singh suffers serious gym injury
Actress Rakul Preet Singh, who will be next seen in ‘De De Pyaar De 2’, recently suffered a serious injury. An 80 kg deadlift during her workout session resulted in an injury to her back. The actress has been on bed rest for more than a week now and is said to be recuperating steadily. A well-placed source said, “Rakul has been on bed rest for the last few days and the situation has been quite scary. It all started on the morning of October 5, when Rakul was doing her workout. She did an 80 kg deadlift without wearing a belt, which resulted in a spasm on her back.”
However, the actress pushed herself and still kept resulting in the aggravation of injury following which she has been suggested bed rest by medical experts.
The source further mentioned, “Despite this, she continued to shoot for ‘De De Pyaar De 2’ taking a muscle relaxant in order to fulfill her commitment, for 2 consecutive days. After 3 days of bearing the pain she visited the physios, and each time the pain would be back after 3-4 hours. She continued the physio but on October 10, an hour before her birthday party, she went through the worst situation.”
The injury had resulted in an excruciating situation wherein her L4, L5, and S1 nerves got jammed. Soon after her BP dropped, she broke into a sweat and she was made to sleep on the bed. Source: IANS -

Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani tie the knot in Goa
After years of being in a relationship, Bollywood actor Rakul Preet Singh and actor-filmmaker Jackky Bhagnani finally tied the knot in a beautiful wedding in Goa on Wednesday. The couple got married as per Sikh tradition in the morning. Later in the evening, they got married as per Sindhi tradition.
True to their word, Rakul and Jackky met the paparazzi after concluding their wedding ceremony. As the paparazzi congratulated them, they smiled and posed for pictures.
Their wedding was a star-studded affair with celebrities like Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, Bhumi Pednekar, Esha Deol, David Dhawan, Ayushmann Khurrana, and others in attendance.
On Tuesday, Feb 20, Rakul’s parents, Rajendra Singh and Kulwinder Singh, were seen thanking the paparazzi for traveling all the way from Mumbai to Goa to be part of their joyous occasion. They had also announced that the couple would step out to meet the photographers and the media after the wedding ceremony.
Rakul Preet and Jackky Bhagnani were neighbors and shared several mutual friends. However, their relationship blossomed during the Covid lockdown.

Rakul reciprocated with an equally affectionate birthday wish for Jackky later that year. Since then, the couple has shared numerous moments together, attending birthdays, dinners, parties, and various social gatherings. In her interview with Cosmopolitan, Rakul revealed their perspective on maintaining a healthy relationship. She emphasised that while there’s no specific ‘mantra’ for success, it’s essential to be complete within oneself before entering a relationship. She said, “Being complete in yourself first to be able to complete someone else. And that’s something that both Jackky [Bhagnani] and I have spoken about.”
