From the first season of the SonyLIV biographical series, Rocket Boys, which started streaming from February 4, 2022, Jim Sarbh caught the eye and imagination of the audience as Dr Homi Jehangir Bhabha, who engineered India’s nuclear programme.
The applause-worthy series returned with a second season on March 16, 2023, and Jim continued to impress as the nuclear physicist, who despite political unrest, power shifts and Big Brother vigil by international organisations, was determined to make our country a nuclear power.
The performance has already won the elegantly suave, wonderfully talented, deliciously humorous actor several awards, including the Filmfare OTT Critics Choice Award (Best ActorDrama, 2022), the Indian Television Academy Awards, India (Best Actor: Drama OTT, 2022) and IWM Digital Awards (Best Actor in a Web Series, Jury Award).
Now, Jim is in the running for an International Emmy -- Best Performance by an Actor -- for this towering performance in Rocket Boys.
Jim was delighted when, after a game of sweaty basketball, he cycled home in the rain, went in for a shower, and came out to a deluge of congratulatory messages and calls. He was just an hour late for a movie he had planned to watch with a neighbour.
Soon after learning that you had been nominated for an International Emmy, you revealed that you had run off to watch Clint Eastwood’s 1971 film Dirty Harry, with a neighbour as planned earlier. Were you able to absorb the film after such an honour? Did you celebrate after the film was over?
I definitely did not absorb the film.
I half watched it.
I will have to watch it again.
Or perhaps Akela? (The Hindi remake of Dirty Harry.)
