"Shirt utaarega?" asked Salman Khan to Bobby Deol when he first auditioned for Race 3. According to a mid-day report, while auditioning Bobby for the role in Race 3, one of the first thing Salman asked him was – Shirt Utharega? We bet just like us, you too were completely smitten by that scene in Race 3 trailer when Bobby Deol and Salman Khan look like two handsome hunks walking shirtless. Of course Bobby has always been a fitness freak but with that scene, our jaws dropped, quite literally after seeing him flaunt his perfectly chiseled abs!

"One day, Salman called me and said, 'Mamu, shirt utarega?' I told him I am ready to do whatever he wants me to," said Bobby, who is playing an antagonist in upcoming franchise of Race,. Bobby's name in the film is Yash.

Bobby also revealed that Salman has played a huge part in motivating him to stay fit and achieve the required body for the film. "Salman called me at a time when I was focussing on my career again. I am hungry for more work and hopefully, things will turn around," he said further.

Talking about Race 3, it is one of the most awaited films of this year. The cast is soon to go on a promotional spree and the first song from the film, Heeriye was out last week. The second song from the film, Selfish, which has been sung by Salman's ladylove, Iulia Vantur, will be out tomorrow.

Race franchise is all about twists, deceit and treachery, all done in style. Race 3 treads on the same path and is a genre we haven't seen Salman Khan in a long time. But is it bringing anything new to the table compared to the previous movies? Apart from being a family affair, not much.

Race 3 is directed by Remo D'Souza and is produced by TIPS along with Salman Khan Films. The movie also stars Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem. Race 3 is scheduled to release on June 15.
