The film stars John Abraham and Sonakshi Sinha in the lead.
"It has been a good number of days that we've been shooting together and it has been a blast on the sets with John, Sonakshi and the cast and crew. It's been great learning so much from our director Abhinay Deo," Tahir said.
Deo, who directed "Delhi Belly", is continuing his fondness for the action genre after helming the action-packed TV show "24", starring Anil Kapoor.
Since Tahir has replaced the super fit Vidyut Jammwal as the baddie from "Force", the responsibility on his shoulders to match up to him is immense.
Tahir has taken up the challenge and will be seen involved in some intense and stylised action sequences opposite John in the film, which promises to be bigger than the first part.
The actor had previously played a character with a mean streak as a girl trafficker in "Mardaani".
