John played the role of a patriot who turned into a ruthless killer after the death of his family as India refused to negotiate with terrorists.
Abraham shared, ¡°It is incredible the amount of love that I have been receiving for playing Jim in Pathaan. As an actor, I only work for the love of audiences and fans. Records and milestones are a huge bonus and I¡¯m grateful that Pathaan is such a historic blockbuster. I didn¡¯t expect that people would love my character so much that they want more of Jim to be given to them.¡±
John added that he¡¯s astounded by the response gets on a daily basis, especially regarding the prequel to Jim.
¡°When people almost always root for the hero, and that hero is Shah Rukh Khan in Pathaan, it is hugely gratifying that people are rooting for the anti-hero too. I¡¯m fortunate that my work in Pathaan has spoken loudly and hopefully, I have managed to give people an anti-hero that they will always remember. That was my intent when I heard Pathaan,¡± he added.
John quotes his character as a ¡®refreshingly suave¡¯ villain with an etched-out characterisation.?
¡°Imagine the pain he endured, imagine the hurt that broke him and turned him into the man he became. To me, Jim was a very powerful character and yes, it would be great if Aditya Chopra wants to bring him back and tell the world how good a super-spy he was and how he became a ruthless mercenary later.¡±
The Dhoom actor concluded by saying, ¡°As Luthra says in Pathaan, Jim and Kabir are the best in business. So, there could be lots to explore if a film is made on Jim. I don¡¯t know what Aditya Chopra has in mind. As of now, I¡¯m relishing the love that¡¯s coming my way and I¡¯m thankful that I have entertained people thoroughly.¡±
