Akshaye in Race sequel?

There’s good news for Kareena Kapoor who managed to bag the most glamorous jodi award with beau Saif right under John-Bipasha’s nose at a recent awards show. Apparently director Abbas-Mustan have turned to Kareena to star in their sequel to last year’s hit Race and not Bipasha Basu.
In fact, only Katrina will make a return to the female cast of the sequel to the original thriller. Word is that Sameera will also be replaced by the more happening Deepika Padukone. The directors were initially keen on getting Priyanka to complete the casting coup of sorts, by having the top three actresses of today’s times — Bebo, Katrina and Priyanka — in their film. But Priyanka wasn’t interested, and they had to settle for Deepika. The heroes in the film remain the same, and it’s surprising to see the directors retaining Akshaye Khanna who was miffed with them for giving Saif a better deal during the film’s promotions.
Looks like all’s forgotten in the Race to the box-office.

If Katrina is coming in Race 2, why not Akshaye? This news is different from all the other stories, so take it with a grain of salt.
