Character sketches

Saif Ali Khan as Ranvir Singh

Akshaye Khanna as Rajeev Singh

The younger of the two brothers, Rajeev is spoilt, laidback, and happy to be so. But underneath the surface there lurks an anger which he tries to rein in with liquor. As a result, both anger and liquor get the better of him and end up controlling him.

Katrina Kaif as Sophia

Sophia is Ranvir’s beautiful and innocent looking secretary who manages all his important affairs. She is indispensable to Ranvir, who trusts her completely, but does not reciprocate her love.

Bispasha Basu as Sonia

Sonia is a beautiful and glamourous model with a shady past. She is looking for a man who will keep her in his heart. She is waiting for the rich and famous Ranvir Singh to propose to her.

Anil Kapoor as Robert D’ Costa

Robert is a private detective with the deceptive air of an idiot. He is constantly eating fruits while solving a case. He is sharp, resourceful and quick. His appearance in the story makes the plot thicken as he unravels one lie after the other.

Sameera Reddy as Mini

Mini is the attractive and sexy assistant of Robert D Costa. Like a dumb brunette, Mini constantly asks stupid questions and is mostly relegated by her boss to cutting fruits or doing menial jobs.

Synopsis

‘Race’ is the story of two brothers – Ranvir Singh (Saif Ali Khan) and Rajeev Singh (Akshaye Khanna), who live on the edge of life. Their business is horse racing. Winning is their habit and danger is their sport.

Set against the high-flying social fabric of modern South Africa, ‘Race’ is about betrayal and greed, intrigue and revenge.

Even love comes laced with a motive. The stakes are too high. Double them and you have the perfect ground for a perfect murder. That is exactly what happens – a murder.

Who was the game? Who held the strings?

The glamourous model Sonia (Bipasha) whom Ranvir loved, or the beautiful secretary Sophia (Katrina) who loved Ranvir.

The sudden appearance of detective Robert D Costa and his dumb but sexy assistant Mini deepens the plot into a gripping tale of drama.

With the brothers pitched against each other, who will win? The one who plays to win or the one who plays to defeat?

‘Race’ is directed by brother duo Abbas-Mastan. The movie is produced by Ramesh Taurani and Kumar Taurani. The film has music by Pritam and lyrics by Sameer. The story and screenplay is by Shiraz Ahmed.
