While all the fans are excitedly waiting for Fast and Furious 9, lead actor, Vin Diesel remembered his late costar, Paul Walker, whom he considered a brother. The actor shared a mashed picture and wrote, "The next chapter may be the best... but the weight , the reflections of true brotherhood will burden the soul in ways one can’t explain. Here’s to the ones who know loss.... and yet find a smile to meet the blessed day. All love, Always."

The actor and producer recently confirmed that F&F 9 will release in cinema halls and told Total Film, “I’m so committed to the theatrical experience. Obviously, I’ve dedicated my life to [the cinema]. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that we’re going to be there on May 28 with a movie that everybody is going to want to see together.” Interestingly, lead actor Vin Diesel, who garnered worldwide fame due to the Fast And Furious franchise, he was not the first choice for the franchise. Actor Tim Olyphant was offered this film but he rejected the offer. Producer Neil H Moritz revealed this news to CinemaBlend and said, “We had to look for Dom Toretto. The studio said, ‘If you can get Timothy Olyphant to play that role, we will greenlight the movie… The luckiest thing that ever happened to us is Tim Olyphant turned us down. He’s a great actor. In fact, I’m curious to see what that movie would have been.” Also Read - Pathan: Shah Rukh Khan starrer to become the first Indian movie to be shot inside the Burj Khalifa; MASSIVE action scene planned
