Amitabh Bachchan was offered a role in Salman Khan – Jacqueline Fernandez Race 3.

It is known to everyone that the third installment of the Race Franchise will star the Bollywood actors Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez. But little do people know that even Amitabh Bachchan was offered a role in the same film. But due to his prior work commitments, he could not be a part of the film.

“Big B already has given his October and November dates for the football biopic Jhund. The Race 3 team also plan to begin shoot around the same time. The clash of dates meant that Bachchan had to choose one and since he had already given his dates to Jhund, he politely turned down Race 3,” says a source.

Earlier, there were also rumors of Sidharth Malhotra and Aditya Roy Kapur turning down roles in Race 3.
