John Abraham hints at prequel to Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathaan with his character Jim

John Abraham played opposite in Pathaan, which also starred Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. The film was released in the year 2023.

Talking about Pathaan, John said: “[Pathaan] was really, really cool and special. Adi (Aditya Chopra) and me, I did Dhoom, Kabul Express, New York and then Pathaan. I think he (Adi) gets me right, and hopefully, we'll be doing a prequel to Jim before he goes bitter. So that should be happening.”

Pathaan was backed by Aditya Chopra of Yash Raj Films and directed by Siddharth Anand. It stars John as the antagonist Jim, clashing with Shah Rukh Khan's titular character. Earlier in an interview with Pinkvilla, Siddharth Anand had also talked about the possibility of a prequel and said, “It should be, but it’s too early to talk about anything. I feel Jim’s character does warrant a prequel." Pathaan became one of the biggest grossers of Hindi cinema with ₹ 634 crore worldwide in seven days.

John was last seen in the film Vedaa. He is gearing up for the release of The Diplomat, in which he plays the role of real-life Indian diplomat JP Singh. Initially set to release on March 7, the film will now hit theatres a week later during Holi, on March 14.
