John Abraham hints at ‘Pathaan’ prequel whith his character Jim

John Abraham
  • John Abraham hinted at a potential prequel to Pathaan.
  • He did not confirm a sequel to the film.
  • “We’ll be doing a prequel to Jim before he goes bitter,” said Abraham.

Bollywood’s action-packed blockbuster Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham, was one of the biggest hits of 2023. Now, John has hinted at a potential prequel focusing on his character, Jim, though he did not confirm a sequel to the film.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, John shared his thoughts on Pathaan and his collaborations with producer Aditya Chopra. “[Pathaan] was really, really cool and special. Adi (Aditya Chopra) and me, we 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.”

Earlier, director Siddharth Anand had also acknowledged the potential for a prequel. Speaking to Pinkvilla, he said, “It should be, but it’s too early to talk about anything. I feel Jim’s character does warrant a prequel.”

Produced by Yash Raj Films, Pathaan was a massive box office success, grossing ₹634 crore worldwide in just seven days.

John was last seen in Vedaa and is now preparing for The Diplomat, based on Indian diplomat JP Singh, set to release on March 14, during Holi.

Deepika Padukone has been enjoying massive success with recent films like Pathaan, Jawan, and Kalki 2898 AD. Her upcoming film, Singham Again, directed by Rohit Shetty, is expected to be another hit, but the internet wasn’t thrilled with her appearance in the trailer that dropped on Monday.

Deepika, playing a cop named Shakti Shetty, is seen in a khaki uniform, wearing sunglasses, and speaking in a Marathi accent. She introduces herself as “Lady Singham” in the film.

An X user shared a clip of Deepika from the trailer, writing, “naah (crying emojis) what is wrong with her.” Another commented, “Never thought after seeing Arjun Kapoor and Tiger (Shroff) in the cast, someone could act worse than him. But congratulations Deepika.”

One user compared her current role to her debut in Om Shanti Om, noting, “It’s been 17 years! And she hasn’t improved a bit.” The tweet added, “The greatest trick Deepika Padukone has ever pulled was convincing a bunch of teenagers that she is a good actress.”

Meanwhile, a Reddit user blamed Rohit Shetty’s direction, writing, “Shetty has somehow managed to make even THAT smile annoying (crying emoji).” Another criticized her accent: “It’s the forced ‘Tapori’ accent. Heyy bhagwan (Oh God). It’s not working.”

Abhishek Bachchan Reflects On Future ‘Dhoom 4’ Project

Abhishek Bachchan

Abhishek Bachchan recently shared his thoughts on the potential for a Dhoom 4 film in an interview.

During the interview, Abhishek expressed his desire to return to the action genre after exploring experimental roles in films like Dasvi and Bob Biswas. He also discussed the prospects of another instalment in the Dhoom series. Speaking openly, the Housefull 3 actor stated to India Today: “I would love [to do an action film]. It just so happened, the last two years were so busy. I have made like 5-6 movies in the last two years.”

When asked about the possibility of Dhoom 4, Abhishek disclosed that he hasn’t heard any plans for it so far. He mentioned that if Aditya Chopra, the film’s producer, had intentions for such a project, he would have informed him. The actor maintained a neutral stance, neither confirming nor dismissing the possibility of the new film.

“I don’t have any information about it. If ‘Dhoom 4’ was being made, Adi [Chopra] would have told us. I can’t confirm or deny it but I am pretty sure I would have been told if he is making one,” he remarked.

At the beginning of 2023, after the success of Pathaan, rumours circulated that Yash Raj Films was considering reviving the Dhoom franchise, with Akshay Kumar in the lead role and John Abraham as the antagonist. However, YRF dismissed these rumours, according to sources.

With Abhishek Bachchan’s statement, it becomes evident that there are no immediate plans for such a project.

Karan Johar’s Latest: Rocky Aur Rani Hits 85 Cr Mark

Karan Johar's
  • The film managed to amass approximately Rs 85 – 86 crores in its opening days.
  • The Indian market contributed significantly to the film’s success, with a net collection of around Rs 44.50 crores.
  • Meanwhile, the overseas market added approximately 4 million dollars (about Rs 32 – 33 crores gross) to the total.

Karan Johar’s much-awaited directorial venture, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” featuring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in the lead roles, along with stellar performances from Shabana Azmi, Jaya Bachchan, and Dharmendra in supporting roles, had an encouraging global weekend. The film managed to amass approximately Rs 85 – 86 crores in its opening days.

The Indian market contributed significantly to the film’s success, with a net collection of around Rs 44.50 crores (grossing 53 crores). Meanwhile, the overseas market added approximately 4 million dollars (about Rs 32 – 33 crores gross) to the total.

This commendable opening places “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” as the fourth highest first-weekend earner for a Hindi-origin film in 2023, following “Pathaan,” “Adipurush,” and “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.”

The film’s weekend trajectory exhibits strong growth, fueled by positive word-of-mouth especially in urban centers, a significant advantage that bodes well for its future performance.

While the opening day collections were considered modest, it is worth noting that post-pandemic scenarios have led to movies having longer sustainability at the box office. Despite initial concerns about audience footfall due to pandemic-related caution, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” is proving to be leggy.

To be deemed successful, the film aims to achieve 12 – 13 times its opening day collection in India and approximately 10 million dollars internationally, culminating in a global gross of around Rs 250 crores and a theatrical share close to Rs 100 crores for the producers.

The day-wise net collections in India for “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” are as follows:

  • Thursday: Rs 10.50 crores
  • Saturday: Rs 15.50 crores
  • Sunday: Rs 18.50 crores

Thus, the film garnered a total of Rs 44.50 crores net in India after three days (grossing 53 crores).

“Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” narrates the tale of a flamboyant Punjabi, Rocky, and an intellectual Bengali journalist, Rani, who fall in love despite their stark differences. They face familial opposition but decide to live with each other’s families for three months before tying the knot. The film’s ultimate success hinges on whether they can win over each other’s families, a storyline that is capturing hearts.

Given its strong opening and growing trajectory, “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani” is expected to continue its journey toward success in the coming days.

Kajol’s Query: The True Box Office Success of ‘Pathaan’

Kajol's
  • Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan have enjoyed a legendary onscreen collaboration.
  • Spanning three decades, since their first film together, “Baazigar,” which was released 30 years ago.
  • Kajol can be seen lightheartedly questioning Shah Rukh about the box office earnings of his recent blockbuster, Pathaan.

Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan have enjoyed a legendary onscreen collaboration, spanning three decades, since their first film together, “Baazigar,” which was released 30 years ago. However, a recent interview has sparked doubts among Shah Rukh’s fans regarding the status of their friendship. In a viral clip, Kajol can be seen lightheartedly questioning Shah Rukh about the box office earnings of his recent blockbuster, “Pathaan.”

During an interview with Live Hindustan, Kajol was asked what she would like to ask her longtime collaborator Shah Rukh Khan. After contemplating for a moment, she jokingly inquired, “How much did Pathaan really make?”

The internet quickly reacted to Kajol’s remark, with many questioning the state of her friendship with Shah Rukh. Some pointed out that Kajol’s curiosity was understandable, given the disparity between projected and actual box office earnings.

A few users suggested that Kajol should direct her question about “Pathaan’s” box office collection to her brother-in-law Aditya Chopra, as his company, Yash Raj Films, produced the spy thriller. According to recent reports, “Pathaan” reportedly grossed around ₹665 crore in India.

In a recent exclusive interview, Kajol discussed the reasons behind her enduring working relationship with Shah Rukh. She emphasized that their friendship began during their first film and has continued to flourish over the years. Kajol also highlighted the importance of maintaining a balanced work schedule, ensuring that they didn’t exhaust each other by doing films back-to-back. She expressed hope for their friendship to continue and even expressed a desire to collaborate on more films together.

Kajol’s playful question to Shah Rukh Khan regarding the box office earnings of “Pathaan” may have raised doubts among fans, but her recent interview reaffirms their long-standing camaraderie. With a history spanning three decades, Kajol and Shah Rukh’s onscreen magic and friendship remains a cherished aspect of Bollywood.
