John Abraham will step into Aamir Khan's shoes in Sarfarosh 2.

John Abraham is all set to step into
Aamir Khan's shoes in the second
installment of the latter's hit film
Sarfarosh (1999). The actor confirmed
that he was onboard the John Matthew
Matthan's venture Sarfarosh 2. Talking
about the action-drama John told a
leading daily, "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'.
Sarfarosh was an action-drama that also
starred Sonali Bendre and Naseeruddin
Shah. The film became a cult hit with its
tight script and direction. The music of
the film also became
chartbuster. Sarfarosh was about an IPS
officer's quest to stop cross-border
terrorism. Aamir's tough cop avatar was
highly appreciated and so was Sonali's
bubbly act. The film received critical
acclaim and went on to win the National
Film Award for Best Popular Film
Providing Wholesome Entertainment.

When John was asked whether he was
apprehensive about stepping into
Aamir's shoes, he said, "I'm, in fact,
excited. I love Aamir Khan. It's a
challenge, but it's a different character
and different story, even though the
ethos is the same. It's going to be very
exciting. The actor has an interesting
line-up of films starting with Satyameva
Jayate which will be releasing on August
15.
On the work front, John also has Batla
House and Romeo Akbar Walter in the
pipeline. His last release Parmanu The
Story of Pokhran had a successful run at
the box office. Talking about Batla House,
John told the daily, "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 viewers accept
Batla House, it will be the most successful
film. The film is directed by Nikkhil
Advani and shows John as the cop who
led the Batla House encounters which
occurred in September 2008 against
Indian Mujahideen terrorists in Jamia
Nagar, Delhi.
