The last time a lead pair set the screen on fire with their sizzling chemistry, albeit in a one-on-one duel was the sword fight between Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Jodhaa Akbar’. Once again, another lead pair Saif Ali Khan and Jacqueline Fernandes will engage in an on-screen duel but in a very different setting and the modus operandi of the fight will be fencing. The two actors will be seen locked in a deadly duel for their upcoming film ‘Race 2’. Producer Ramesh Taurani said, “The actors have been trained for a sword fencing sequence formulated by action director Peter Hein. We have specially flown down trainers from Vietnam for this sequence.” A source close to the film said, “The original plan was to shoot the sequence in Mumbai but later, directors found an exotic location in Turkey. This is a major schedule of the film and will be shot for 65 days starting May 1. Both stars will practise for an hour daily before the shoot. It’s a three and a half minute intensive action sequence between the actors in martial art form.” The film is slated for release on January 25, 2013.
