In a report by Mumbai Mirror, it is revealed that Aslam — who has been a Race regular with chartbuster songs like 'Pehli Nazar Mein' for Race (2008) and 'Beintehaa' and 'Allah Duhai Hai' for Race 2 (2013) — will lend his voice for an exclusive song for the film.

Confirming the news, producer Ramesh Taurani said, "Atif has been a part of every Race film and we felt he would be perfect for this romantic song. It will be a surprise for the audience," reports Mumbai Mirror.

The music director of the film, Vishal Mishra, informed that Salman has written yet another song, for Race 3, that they are currently working upon.

Race 3 is being helmed by choreographer-turned-director Remo D'Souza and stars Salman Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem and Freddy Daruwala. The film is slated to release this year during the festive season of Eid on 15 June.
