John, who played a vigilante who goes on a corrupt cop-killing spree in the original, said: “I genuinely enjoyed the story and telling of the original film.

Divya, who returns to acting after directing two movies, said: “I didn’t want to act in a film just for the sake of it. For me, what mattered was the story and the role, and I got the right opportunity with this film.”
The movie, to be directed by Zaveri and produced by T-Series and Emmay Entertainment and Motion Pictures, will go on floors soon.
“Satyameva Jayate 2 is twice the action, emotion, power, patriotism and punch. Led by John Abraham back as a crusader for justice and with Divya Khosla Kumar joining the franchise, I hope next Gandhi Jayanti we provide the audiences with a powerful entertainer that also gives a strong message against corruption,” said Zaveri.
Nikkhil Advani of Emmay Entertainment believes the sequel will be an even bigger entertainer. He said: “John and Milap make for a formidable team and we are happy to push the envelope with a project that’s not only for the audiences to enjoy but is socially relevant as well.”
Satyameva Jayate 2 is slated to release on October 2, 2020.
