While talking to a popular entertainment portal, the director confirmed that Jim's character does warrant a prequel however it would be too early to talk about the details. However, what surprised us was when the director said, "what if Jim is not dead? What if there's a harness that pulls a parachute?" Well, that looks like the team is planning a surprise element soon. On the other hand, there is also a buzz that a possible Pathaan sequel is in the making too. The director also confirmed that there will be a crossover of Kabir and Pathaan soon.
