cp-webdeskWhile Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal of the titular role has set box office records and is on track to deliver the biggest grosser in Hindi cinema , there has been discussion about John Abraham’s portrayal of the antagonist, Jim, in the film as well. When asked about wills there be a movie about Jim’s backstory? Siddharth Anand said “It should be, but it’s too early to discuss anything. “I believe Jim’s character merits a prequel,” he responds.
In Pathaan, there is a dialogue which speaks about the bond shared by Jim (John Abraham) with Kabir (Hrithik Roshan) in earlier times. Would the prequel explore this equation? “Ya, why not, anything can happen. It’s a 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?” he smiles, leaving everyone to make their own fan theory.
All through the last year, there were ample of speculations about Hrithik Roshan’s involvement in Pathaan as Kabir from War. Could this crossover between Kabir and Pathaan also happen? “ Obviously, there was a thought back then, but since we just started amalgamating this universe, it’s too early to bring everyone together. There should be a little thirst of getting this combination, but of course, this crossover will happen,” he concludes.
