John Abraham has confirmed that he will feature in the sequel to Aamir Khan’s Sarfarosh, and said he is geared up for the action drama that will be different from the original.  

Directed by John Matthew Matthan, the 1999 film also featured Naseeruddin Shah and Sonali Bendre. It chronicled the story of an Indian police officer’s quest to stop cross-border terrorism. 

 

Abraham told PTI: “John Mathew Matthan and I are co-producing the film. We are still working on the script but yes it’s happening with me. We plan to go on floors next year. He is probably the only director whose house I went to after seeing Sarfarosh and said ‘Man what a film’.”

 

Asked if he is apprehensive since the original featured Aamir, Abraham said: “I’m in fact very excited. I love Aamir Khan, I’m his big fan. It’s a challenge but it’s a different character, different story but the ethos is the same.” 

He has Satyamev Jayate, Batla House and RAW: Romeo Akbar Walter lined up next. 

 

“Batla House will be the most explosive film you’ve seen. It’ll show how polarised the world is and it’s straight in its face. If we accept Batla House it’ll be the most successful film,” he said about the Nikkhil Advani film. 

 

“It’s an honest film and Nikkhil is an honest director. We have got something so explosive in our hands and we will treat it with a lot of caution.”
