“People who grew up around sets have an ease on camera, as a consequence of their experience. It gives them a screen presence, a certain charisma, or a screen magnetism. The latter you either have or you don’t.”
Witty and wise, Jim Sarbh certainly embodies the cinematic magnetism he speaks of, which translates to his offscreen self, as well. His debut as an unhinged terrorist in Neerja made him the talk of the town, a dynamic that’s remained unchanged till date. In each project, be it Padmaavat or Made in Heaven, or his more recent work in Rocket Boys and Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, Jim guarantees that his acting prowess will prove to be a crowd puller, no matter his role in it.
FROM STAGE TO SCREEN
Before he transitioned to cinema, Jim garnered immense recognition as a prolific theatre artiste, working in Alyque Padamsee’s revival of Death of a Salesman and Vickram Kapadia’s The Merchant of Venice, among other notable plays.
“The art of carrying the entire show in theatre, the craft and skill that goes into that process from beginning to end, will always be a little harder,” says the theatre aficionado. “But if we just look at the actor’s craft in both… A film is put together by the director, editor, sound and design engineer and is not an actor’s medium; the stage entirely is. You have to be able to get all the way through, no matter what.”
It’s this theatre experience that’s equipped the 35-year-old with the ease and expertise we see on screen today.
THE HERO OR ANTI-HERO?
Known to be rather conscientious while choosing his next project, Jim explains how he ends up attracting such unconventional projects.
