The cool-as-a-cucumber Khan will indulge in more mind games in the sequel to this year’s hit movie Race .

It has almost become a norm to make the sequel if a movie ends up pulling crowds to the marquee. We’ve seen such sequels being made in Dhoom 2 , Sarkar Raj , Krrish and there are some in the making, like Raaz – The Mystery Continues , ‘Phoonk 2’ and possibly ‘Drona 2’ as well.
Producer Ramesh Taurani of TIPS had announced his tentative plan to make the sequel to ‘Race’ early this year. But the project was in infancy stage and the only thing that was finalized at that point was Abbas-Mastan as its director.

Saif is presently busy working on his home production with Imtiaz Ali . After that, he will shoot for Karan Johar’s production to be directed by Rensil D’Silva. The movie has Kareena Kapoor opposite Saif.

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar was awarded the title of ‘Brand Ambassador of the year’ at the CNBC Awaaz consumer awards 2008 held at Mumbai. IPL commissioner Lalit Modi was awarded for transforming cricket in India, and state owned telecom company BSNL was inducted into the ‘Hall of Fame’ for its contribution.

Akshay attended the function with wifey Twinkle Khanna who looked as gorgeous as ever being just the perfect match for handsome Akki. Guests of honour presiding over the function were the minister for consumer affairs and public distribution, Sharad Pawar, and the minister for civil aviation, Praful Patel. The presenting partner for the function was ICICI credit cards, with ICICI Bank executive director Vaidyanathan also present for the awards ceremony.
