John Abraham has become one of Bollywood’s most versatile action stars. From playing the menacing antagonist in Dhoom (2004) to delivering intense performances in New York (2009) and Madras Café (2013), John is known for portraying complex, layered characters. His recent outing as the ruthless yet compelling villain Jim in Pathaan (2023) further cemented his place in Bollywood’s action genre.
Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Yash Raj Films, was a massive success, grossing over ₹1000 crore worldwide. The film was part of YRF’s Spy Universe, joining the ranks of Ek Tha Tiger and War. John’s portrayal of Jim, a former soldier turned rogue spy, received widespread praise, making him one of the most memorable antagonists in the franchise. Now, fans are eager for more, and John himself has hinted at the possibility of a Jim prequel exploring the character’s transformation before he became the formidable enemy of Pathaan.
John Abraham Hints at a Jim Prequel in the Spy Universe
During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, John Abraham opened up about his experience playing Jim and hinted that a prequel might be in the works. He expressed his admiration for Aditya Chopra’s vision, stating, “[Pathaan] was really, really cool and special. Adi and me, we did Dhoom, Kabul Express, New York, and then Pathaan. I think he (Aditya Chopra) gets me right, and hopefully, we’ll be doing a prequel to Jim before he goes bitter. So that should be happening.”

While this isn’t an official confirmation, John’s remarks suggest that discussions about Jim’s backstory are already taking place. His character in Pathaan was revealed to be a former top agent of RAW who turned against his country after a tragic betrayal. A prequel could delve deeper into his past, showing how he went from being India’s elite spy to a deadly terrorist.
With Tiger vs Pathaan and War 2 already in development, YRF seems committed to expanding its espionage franchise. If a Jim prequel is greenlit, it could be another high-octane thriller featuring intense action sequences, moral dilemmas, and the rise of a villain who once fought for his nation. Fans eagerly await further updates, hoping to see John Abraham return as Jim in an origin story that could redefine the Spy Universe.
