Confirming
that
he
will
be
featuring
in
the
sequel
of
Aamir
Khan's
Sarfarosh,
actor
John
Abraham
says
he
is
geared
up
for
the
action-drama,
which
will
be
different
from
the
original.
Directed
by
John
Matthew
Matthan,
the
1999
film
featured
Aamir,
Naseeruddin
Shah,
and
Sonali
Bendre.
Sarfarosh
chronicled
the
story
of
an
Indian
police
officer's
quest
to
stop
cross-border
terrorism.
In
an
in
interview
with
PTI,
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'."
Sarfarosh
opened
to
critical
acclaim
and
went
on
to
win
the
National
Film
Award
for
Best
Popular
Film
Providing
Wholesome
Entertainment.
When
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.
It's
going
to
be
very
exciting."
The
actor's
line
up
of
films,
beginning
with
Satyamev
Jayate
releasing
on
August
15,
includes
Batla
House,
and
RAW:
Romeo
Akbar
Walter.
"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
says.
Directed
by
Nikkhil
Advani,
the
film
features
Abraham
as
the
cop
who
led
the
Batla
House
encounters.
The
encounter
occurred
in
September
2008
against
Indian
Mujahideen
terrorists
in
the
Batla
House,
a
locality
in
Jamia
Nagar
in
Delhi.
"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," the
actor
adds.
Abraham
recently
shot
for
the
first
schedule
of
RAW:
Romeo
Akbar
Walter,
directed
by
Robbie
Grewal.
The
actor
said
there
will
be
18
different
looks
of
his
in
the
spy-thriller
and
the
shoot
was
pretty
intense.
The
actor
says
his
line-up
of
films
resonates
with
what
he
wants
to
do
as
an
actor-producer.
"This
is
probably
an
inflection
point
in
my
career
where
I
can
say,
at
least
in
terms
of
the
cinema
that
I'm
getting
out
as
a
producer,
as
an
actor,
the
next
five
years
are
probably
my
best
five
years," he
said.
