Actress Jacqueline Fernandez stars in the third instalment of the hit franchise Race 3 and says her role is challenging.

“It’s a very different role. I am really excited to play my character because it’s actually a role that sees me in very different light,” said Fernandez.

Race 3 is being directed by Remo Fernandes with Salman Khan in the male lead.

“In this film, [everyone is a villain] until you see who actually is good person and who is bad,” she said. “Now that we have Salman on board and Remo is directing it so it’s completely new take on Race as a franchise, so it will be exciting.”

Fernandez has previously acted with Khan in Kick.

“After Kick, my career changed a lot for the better. I really do owe a lot to him [Khan] for that. He put his faith in me and did a film such as Kick at the time where I didn’t have faith in myself,” Fernandez said.

Commenting on the success of her newest release Judwaa 2, Fernandez said: “It feels amazing when your film does well but the kind of love and acceptance we received with Judwaa 2 is something that made me, Varun [Dhawan] and Taapsee [Pannu] really happy.”

Fernandez will also be seen with Sushant Singh Rajput in Drive, which is directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
