Superstar Aamir Khan on Friday said that he has been trying to make a sequel to his classic movie ‘Sarfarosh’ for a long time and the team is now more than serious about developing the follow-up.
Considered one of the best films of Aamir's career, the John Matthew Matthan-directed movie completed 25 years. A special screening was held in Mumbai on the occasion. Speaking at the event, Aamir said, “I've been telling John (director of Safarosh) for many years to make 'Sarfarosh 2'. Also, the film ended in such a way that we could make part two of this film. I've told John that if he writes a good story, then we can make a 'Sarfarosh 2'. This time he told me he was trying."
And this is not all, the actor even made a promise. He said, "I can commit one thing, that we'll definitely give it a really serious shot now, coming up with the right script and the right kind of film for it (part two)."
Speaking about his iconic film, Khan said he can't believe that "Sarfarosh" has completed 25 years and added that he is grateful for all the love and appreciation the film has received. "The film is still fresh in my mind and it seems it was released two or four years ago. I've seen this film a lot of times and it's been a long time since I have seen it. I bet if we release this film in theatres the audience will again come to see it as it's such a good film," he said.
Released on April 30 in 1999, the film received wide critical acclaim and was a commercial hit too. It also won the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment.
The story revolves around an honest police officer Ajay Singh Rathod (Khan), who meets and befriends a famous Pakistani ghazal singer, Gulfam Hassan (Naseeruddin Shah). Rathod's life takes a turn when he uncovers a huge conspiracy while investigating arms smuggling in Rajasthan.
