A source close to the project revealed that film's director John Matthew Matthan has approached John Abraham for the lead role and that the film will focus on the Naxal movement in India. "Abraham and Matthan are in advance talks for the film. The sequel will revolve around the Naxal movement and red corridor in India. The first installment touched upon this topic in passing. There is a possibility that it will take off from there," a source told mid-day.

When John Matthew Matthan was asked about his plans of casting John Abraham in the lead role, the director did not reveal much about the film's cast and he told mid-day: "I am scripting Sarfarosh 2 now, but it is too early to give out any details.
