UAE Armed Forces to assist 'Race 3' stunt team

19th March 2018

'Race 3' is definitely going to be a high-octane action thriller with 'Tiger Zinda Hai' stunt choreographer Tom Struthers on board. The films cast and crew has hit UAE's capital Dubai and is scheduled to shoot for 35 days in six prime locations. These locations include the luxurious Emirates Palace, the distinct Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi, the St Regis Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec), Emirates Steel and the Liwa Desert.

Sources also revealed that the film's stunt director Tom Struthers will work with the UAE Armed Forces to achieve the action elements of the film. The UAE military support will include providing a Blackhawk helicopter, Oshkosh trucks, NIMR military vehicles, and Humvees. Looks like a lot of efforts have been invested in this third action heist franchise.

Helmed by Remo D'Souza, 'Race 3' stars Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah and Saqib Saleem in major roles.

After Tiger Zinda Hai, Salman is back shooting in Abu Dhabi and he said, "It is wonderful to be back in Abu Dhabi, which is such an incredible filming location. Last year, we spent much of our 70-day shoot for Tiger Zinda Hai on the city’s incredible backlot, so it will be exciting to explore more of the Emirate with Race 3 as we shoot across six locations."

In recent years hits like Furious 7, The Bourne Legacy, and Disney's Star Wars were shot in Abu Dhabi. Also hits like Baby, Dishoom and Bang Bang were shot here.
