Race
is
all
set
to
be
the
first
multi
starrer
release
of
2008
and
the
credit
must
go
to
its
producers
-
TIPS
-
for
bringing
such
an
enviable
line
up
of
actors
together.
It
wasn't
an
easy
task
though.
As
per
producer
Ramesh
Taurani,
it
was
quite
a
challenge
to
have
all
the
actors
on
board,
especially
when
it
came
to
matching
their
dates.
With
majority
of
cast
comprising
of
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Akshaye
Khanna,
Katrina
Kaif,
Bipasha
Basu,
Anil
Kapoor
and
Sameera
Reddy
being
busy
with
multiple
assignments,
it
was
sheer
logistics
that
had
to
be
encountered.
However,
the
producer
strived
to
get
this
Abbas-Mustan
thriller
on
floors
since
he
truly
believes
that
in
the
bigger
scheme
of
things,
multi
starrers
are
always
a
safer
option.
With
only
a
handful
of
solo
releases
working
in
the
recent
past,
it
made
sense
to
go
for
a
huge
cast
and
ensure
that
the
story
had
enough
strength
in
it
to
facilitate
the
need
for
multiple
stars.
Well,
if
initial
response
to
the
film's
high
adrenaline
promos
is
to
be
believed,
TIPS
certainly
seems
to
have
got
it
perfectly
right.
Rest
would
be
for
the
world
to
decide
when
the
film
releases
all
over
on
21st
March.
