"I'm ecstatic to have signed 'Force 2'. It's an edgy action-drama with a very cool storyline. Vipul Shah (producer of the film) and Abhinay Deo (the film's director) are a power-packed combination and I greatly look forward to joining the cast opposite John Abraham," Tahir said in a statement.
Tahir, who essayed the role of a child trafficker in "Mardaani", will again be seen playing a character with shades of grey.
"Force 2" will be shot in Budapest for two months, and Tahir is currently preparing for the role.
