Hot speculations in circles are that John Abraham was approached by producer Firoz Nadiadwala to rope in for the sequel of 2002's film 'Awara Pagal Deewana' sequel.

It can be recalled that the original version had Akshay Kumar. Ironically, after 'Welcome Back', 'Hera Pheri 3' and 'Aankhen 2', this is the fourth movie of Akshay's that goes to his
buddy actor John.

Titled 'Awara Pagal Deewana Returns', John takes up Akki's role in the lead, along with Aftab Shivdasani and Suneil Shetty from the original. Although nothing has been confirmed yet
officially, the project is expected to go on floors at the end of 2016 and probably hit the screens in 2017.

Currently John is in Budapest for the shooting of 'Force 2'.
