Salman Khan took his PLACE, this is what Saif Ali Khan has to SAY...

Saif Ali Khan, who has featured in two instalments of Bollywood franchise "Race", says who better than superstar Salman Khan to replace him in the third movie.

Ramesh Taurani has reportedly announced that the franchise will move ahead without Saif, and Salman will play the lead instead.

Saif, who was present at the launch of the trailer of "Chef", was asked about the third film in the franchise and the new casting of Salman.

He said: "Actually Ramesh had told me about this last year that he wants to make a new film in the franchise, 'Race 3', and wanted to take up a new cast. I love Rameshji and who better than Salman Khan for this. I wish them both very good luck. But I have not been approached."

Meanwhile, Saif is excited about "Chef", which is inspired by Jon Favreau's eponymous film.

Presented by T-Series, the film will release on October 6.
