However, Race 3 is set to suffer a massive setback as Ranbir Kapoor starrer Sanju is supposed to hit the theatres and it is expected to blow all the other movies out there out of the water. Expectations are that it will earn as much as Rs 30 cr on day 1 itself. Sanju is based on the life of film star Sanjay Dutt. Notably, Ranbir Kapoor has not been able to generate a hit film for quite some time and needs a big booster shot to his career.

Race 3 stars Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez and Daisy Shah. After the success of his Race 3, Salman Khan may soon start the shoot of ‘Dabangg 3’.
