The film, quite like its 2008 predecessor, is an action-packed adventure that begins with Ranveer (Saif Ali Khan) brooding over his fiancée Sonia’s (Bipasha Basu) death.

Thirsty for revenge, he sets out to nab Sonia’s killers and will leave no stone unturned to find them. He heads to Turkey and seeks the help of Armaan Mallick (John Abraham), a mafia don who runs a high-security underworld outfit along with his gorgeous partner Ileena (Deepika Padukone), while his fiancée Omisha (Jacqueline Fernandez) is unaware of his plans. The quirky inspector KD (Anil Kapoor) makes a comeback, with a new attractive assistant, played by Amisha Patel. Turkey offers a colourful backdrop to all the action in this film.

Race 2 is set to release in theatres on January 25 in the UAE.
