- Race 2 is a sequel to the 2008 film, Race and the second installment of the Race film series.
- The film was made on a budget of ₹94 crore and it grossed ₹161 crore worldwide and was deemed as a “Hit”.
- The film’s shooting was set to begin on 5 October 2011 but was postponed to accommodate Deepika Padukone’s dates causing scheduling conflicts with Sonakshi Sinha. Sinha’s dates conflicted with her filming schedule for Dabangg 2 (2012), forcing her to drop out.
- The first Indian schedule began on 5 November 2011 in Mumbai for 15 days, wrapping up on 20 November.
- Meanwhile, Sanjay Dutt was in talks to join the cast, but he dropped out due to scheduling conflicts.
- The second schedule commenced on 23 January 2012 in Mumbai. Padukone dropped out within six days because the film was always being rescheduled.
- Race 2’s producer Ramesh Taurani released a statement to the media deeming Padukone’s behaviour as “unethical, unprofessional and unacceptable”. Also, it was reported that Asin was offered the role to replace Padukone, although it has been rumoured that she declined the offer, thus avoiding any controversies regarding her and Kapoor. However, Padukone and Taurani agreed on a settlement after much negotiation and the filming continued as planned.
- Fernandez, Abraham and Padukone joined the cast in May at Istanbul for the third schedule. On 7 October 2012, the shooting was completed.
- The Mardan Palace in Turkey was the setting for many scenes where it was shown as the home of Padukone and Abraham’s characters.
- Race 2 was released on 25 January (India) and 26 January (Worldwide). The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics and audience. It grossed ₹161 crore worldwide and was deemed as a “Hit”.
- Race 2 was released in more than 50 countries, including US, UK, Gulf, Australia, Pakistan as well as non-traditional markets like Maldives, East Timor, Myanmar, Morocco and Vietnam (with as many as seven screens). The film had a simultaneous release in Morocco in four to five screens, including theatres in Casablanca and Marrakech. Race 2 is subtitled in Arabic, Thai, Indonesian, Malay, Vietnamese, and Dutch
