Filmmaker Siddharth Anand, who is currently enjoying the massive success of his recently released blockbuster Pathaan, recently opened up about the possibility of a prequel of the Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham starrer. John, who was seen as the antagonist in Pathaan, could have his own spy film. Siddharth said John's character Jim deserved a prequel, and also teased the possibility of a crossover with Hrithik Roshan's Kabir from War (2019).
When asked if there could be a film with Jim’s back story, Siddharth told a Bollywood website, “It should be, but it’s too early to talk about anything. I feel, Jim’s character does warrant a prequel." The filmmaker also teased that the prequel could explore the bond shared by John's Jim and Hrithik Roshan's Kabir (War) from an earlier time, which was teased in Pathaan.
When asked if a spy film with a Hrithik-John crossover was possible, Siddharth said, “Ya, why not, anything can happen. It’s a universe (YRF Spy Universe) and you can do anything with the characters – it’s a playground. You can have a prequel to Jim.. oh wait, what if Jim is not dead? What if there’s a harness that pulls a parachute?”
Pathaan has become a must-watch theatrical entertainer which is being celebrated across the nation. Pathaan, is part of Aditya Chopra’s ambitious spy universe and has the biggest superstars of the country Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in it.
