  • Race 3 is the final installment of Race film series which started with Race in 2008 and Race 2 in 2013 but has a loosely related plot to the previous films.
  • In the year 2015, it was confirmed by director-duo Abbas–Mustan that a third instalment in the Race franchise was being planned with Saif Ali Khan returning in the lead role.
  • In 2016, it was reported that producer Ramesh Taurani had approached Salman Khan for Race 3 but he refused to do the film and asked Taurani to make some changes in the script. This report was confirmed to be true by Khan himself at the Trailer launch event of the film on 15 May 2018.
  • In August 2017, it was reported that Khan had agreed to be a part of Race 3 on the condition that choreographer-turned-director Remo D’Souza would direct the film.
  • In August 2017, it was reported that Saif had decided not to be a part of the film as he was opposed to the idea of him playing a parallel lead to Salman.
  • After media reports surfaced about Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez and Deepika Padukone being considered for the female lead opposite Khan, it was confirmed in August 2017 that Fernandez had been finalized for the role.
  • To prepare for the action sequences that she had to do in the film, Fernandez underwent extensive training in Mixed martial arts (MMA).
  • The shooting of Race 3 began on 9 November 2017 at the Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. The filming of Race 3 moved to Bangkok in Thailand for its second schedule where they filmed a song and an action sequence, which was choreographed by Anal Arasu, at the Floating Market and Rose Garden as well as the jungles of Kanchanaburi Province.
  • After finishing the shoot in Thailand, the team reached Abu Dhabi for its next schedule. The shooting schedule in Abu Dhabi lasted for 35 days where filming was done at Emirates Palace, Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, The St. Regis Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, Emirates Steel and the Liwa Desert.
  • For its next schedule, the film unit moved to Kashmir and later on to Ladakh where Salman Khan and Jacqueline Fernandez filmed a romantic song.
  • During the shooting, Khan was convicted in the Blackbuck poaching case on 5 April 2018 by a Jodhpur Sessions Court, as a result of which the remaining patchwork of the film was completed in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan instead of Abu Dhabi because the film was running behind its schedule and Jaisalmer had a landscape similar to that of Abu Dhabi.
  • Race 3 was released on 15 June 2018 coinciding with Eid. It received mostly negative reviews, with criticism for its script, plot, casting, music and action sequences . Despite negative reviews, it has a successful box office collection collecting ₹1.79 billion (equivalent to ₹2.0 billion or US$25 million in 2020) in India and approximately ₹3.03 billion (equivalent to ₹3.4 billion or US$43 million in 2020) worldwide. It became the 44th highest grossing Indian film of all time.
