Jim Sarbhs portrayal as Adil Khanna in Amazon Prime Videos series Made in Heaven is receiving a lot of appreciation from the audience. He can now be seen playing an altogether different character in Bejoy Nambiars web series Flip. The actor who enjoyed “being the responder and not the provoker” in Flip spoke to indianexpress.com about the project. Here are excerpts from the conversation:

Q. Has the appreciation for the roles you play started to convert into good scripts?

Yes. I am reading lots of good stuff. Next month I will act in House Arrest, a Netflix Original directed by Shashank Ghose and written by Samit Basu. It is really funny and Shashank has a great vision for how my character is incorporated into the film.

I will also act in Yeh Ballet written and directed by Sooni Taraporevala. It is a lovely script about two boys who learn ballet under the guidance of an extremely irritable and eccentric mentor, Saul. Saul is an older Jewish man who had been teaching ballet in the United States. I do not play Saul, though.

I am also looking forward to a web series called Rocket Boys which follows the friendship of Homi Bhabha, played by myself, and Vikram Sarabhai.

Q. Over the years in Bollywood, what has been a challenge for you?

It is a teensy role which I agreed to do mostly to get to work with Ritesh. He and I have something planned in the pipeline. So, it was a nice introduction to how we might work together.

I didnt really have much time with Nawaz. I wish I did. I think he is a great actor. It was lovely to work with Sanya. She is a cool lady, and very open to sudden changes. She responds truly and subtly.
