In a shocking latest buzz, we learn that Saif Ali Khan has reportedly backed out of Ramesh Taurani's sequel to the blockbuster thriller Race. Apparently, the actor has his hands full with Vishal Bhardwaj's and Kunal Kohli's next movies, and as the movie is still in the pre-production stages, Saif thought it would be better for him to back out right away.

Obviously, that has left the director with the big question, as to who should be cast for the male protagonist in Race 2?

Grapevine is abuzz with the likelihood of Junior Bachchan, Abhishek, stepping into Saif's shoes! Details more than that are not available yet, though.

It is also to be wondered about, if, with her beau out of the film, Kareena Kapoor will opt out of Race 2 as well?
