Aamir Khan as we all know was the lead actor in Sarfarosh, however it is now confirmed that John Abraham to play the lead role in Sarfarosh 2 and not Aamir Khan. It is also known that the story will be different from the first one.
Sarfarosh was directed by John Matthew Matthan, the 1999 film featured Aamir, Naseeruddin Shah, and Sonali Bendre. ‘Sarfarosh’ highlighted the story of an Indian police officer’s quest to stop cross-border terrorism.
In an interview John Abraham says, “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’.”
When he was asked if he is apprehensive since the original featured Aamir, John 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. It’s going to be very exciting.”
