Johnny boy is slated to step into Mr Perfectionist's shoes in the second outing of John Matthew Matthan's thriller Sarfarosh (1999), which had Aamir play a cop whose mission is to stop terrorism. Sarfarosh was part of the conversation but playing a law enforcer and intelligence agent comes easily to John. He has done it countless times before.

Abraham in an earlier interview promised that the action-drama would be distanced from the original. "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'."
