I feel happy whenever I hear it.” “Sarfarosh” also featured Sonali Bendre, who was also present at the screening of the film.

Bendre said that ‘Sarfarosh’ is a relevant film even today.

It was a pleasure to work with John (Matthew) who had done ad films earlier. ‘Sarfarosh ‘It was my second film,’ she said, adding, ‘I have already done ‘Takkar’ with him (Shah). Naseer saab and Aamir are legends, so whenever you share the screen with them, you learn.’
