John Abraham's Jim From Blockbuster Pathaan Set To Get A Spin-Off Film

Mumbai, March 15 - The mega-blockbuster success of Pathaan has proved why Shah Rukh Khan is one of the biggest superstars in the country. The movie was all about SRK and his comeback to the big screen, and in between his dominance on the screen, the other character of the movie who found appreciation was John Abraham's Jim. ## John Abraham portrayed the role of the lead antagonist Jim. Jim was himself a fierce RAW agent but unfortunate events made him turn up against his own people. Fans lauded John's performance as one his finest ever, and it was a matter of time before Yash Raj Film bring him back to its Spy Universe. ## Director Siddharth Anand had previously said that he would love to make a spin-off film on Jim and now, according to Mid-Day, YRF is indeed planning the project. ## "Given that a mere glimpse of his character's back story in Pathaan evoked such a positive response, the makers now want to show his heroics and the events that led him to become a fallen agent who lost hope in humanity, and turned into an evil mercenary", reports Mid-Day. ## The project is still in the early stage as YRF is currently working on "Tiger 3" and will then head to "War 2". The spin-off of Jim will focus on the establishment of the deeper connections of him with other characters in the Spy Universe. In "Pathaan", it was revealed that Jim and Kabir (played by Hrithik in War) were trained in the same spy agency. ## Pathaan concludes with a scene that sees Jim falling into a valley, suggesting that he has been killed. However, director Siddharth previously hinted that he might still be alive, so it is possible that in "War 2", we might see a glimpse of Jim before YRF fully explores him in his standalone film. ## Stay tuned...
