The YRF Spy Universe, curated by Aditya Chopra, has become a favorite in Indian cinema. Following the success of films like Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, and Tiger 3, the franchise is set to expand with War 2 and Alpha in 2025. There’s exciting news about a new addition to this spy saga.
According to trusted sources, YRF is planning a spin-off focusing on John Abraham’s well-known character, Jim, from Pathaan. Aditya Chopra and writer Sridhar Raghavan have developed a strong storyline that delves into Jim’s character and his challenges. The script has already been presented to John, who is eager to reprise his role.
If all goes according to plan, filming could start in 2026, with a release expected in 2027. This spin-off aims to be a prequel to Pathaan, featuring appearances from characters across the Spy Universe, showcasing Jim as one of the elite agents in Indian intelligence.
Currently, John Abraham is busy shooting for a biopic about Rakesh Maria with director Rohit Shetty. He is also slated to work on a superhero film with Mahaveer Jain and Abhishek Sharma. His involvement in the Jim spin-off could begin around mid-2026, contingent on the success of War 2 and Alpha.
