Saqib Saleem says he is excited to team up for the first time with Salman Khan in Race 3. Race 3 is the third film in the action franchise. Apart from Salman and Saqib, the film also stars Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah and Freddy Daruwala. "We have shot one schedule. It's gone very well. We shot some action which I have never done. I am really excited to see how it looks like," Saqib told reporters.

The previous two instalments had Saif Ali Khan as the main lead but he has now been replaced by Salman. Remo D'Souza has taken over the project from director duo Abbas-Mustan. The "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" actor was all praise for Salman. "Shooting with Salman has been fantastic. He is the best superstar in the country. I've grown up watching part one and two. In fact I was in college when I saw 'Race' so being part of 'Race 3' feels really nice." He was speaking on the sidelines of Star Screen Awards, last night.
