Race 2 is an action thriller directed by Abbas-Mustan and produced under the Tips Music Films banner.It is a sequel to the 2008 hit film, Race and boasts of an ensemble cast including Saif Ali Khan, Deepika Padukone,John Abraham, Anil Kapoor and Ameesha Patel.
"There are lots of expectations from Race 2. I am sure it will be a blockbuster. The USP of Race was its story andeven in the sequel we have given importance to the story. We spent over two years or so, on the script of Race 2," Taurani said.
"Be it action or any film, the content has to be good. The look, sets, costumes and other things are part ofpackaging. Any film with a good storyline will do well. In Race 2 the story is good and the action part comes in proper place," he said.
About the much-hyped cameo appearance of Bipasha Basu in the sequel, Taurani says, "We dont want to disclose anythingright now...let it be a surprise."
In the first instalment of the film, Bipasha played the love interest of Saif Ali Khan. But she does not have a full-fledged role in the sequel.
"There will be an item song in the film. Like in the first part, we had leading lady Katrina Kaif doing Touch Me song and even in the sequel we will have the heroines Deepika, Jacqueline doing an item song," he said.
The film is shaping up really well. Presently, the team is shooting in Turkey and it may take another 17 days tocomplete shooting there. After this, we will have completed 70-80 percent of the film, Taurani said.
