Mumbai: Bobby Deol has joined the cast of Salman Khan's "Race 3" and the actor is excited about the project.   

Bobby, who made a comeback to big screen with recently released film "Poster Boys", took to Twitter to thank Ramesh Taurani for welcoming him to the "Race" franchise. "Let's race along @RameshTaurani... It feels great to be a part of the team!! #Race3," the 50-year-old actor wrote.  

Taurani had earlier tweeted, "Welcome to the family #BobbyDeol @BeingSalmanKhan @Asli_Jacqueline #Race3 #Eid2018". Apart from Salman and Bobby the third installment in the "Race" franchise also features Jacqueline Fernandez.   

While Salman, 51, has replaced Saif Ali Khan as the lead in the action-thriller, Jacqueline is not new to the franchise. She starred in the 2013's "Race 2".
