After Shruti Haasan (Welcome Back and Rocky Handsome) and Sonakshi Sinha (Force 2), John Abraham is likely to now team up with Sonam Kapoor in Ashwini Dheer's upcoming film, Happy News.

Dheer had earlier directed Son of Sardaar (2012). John is said to be keen on some fresh pairings with younger heroines.

Meanwhile, John's recent knee injury has delayed the upcoming China schedule of Force 2.
