<p>He has never been a lead actor but Jim Sarbh’s roles have always stood out. Be it in movies like ‘Neerja’, ‘Death In The Gunj’, ‘Padmaavat’ and ‘Sanju’ or in Amazon Prime’s web series ‘Made in Heaven’, the actor has played characters that left an impression.</p>.<p>He has also done extensive work in theatre, including directing. He spoke to <span class="italic">Metrolife</span> about his work and his film ‘The Wedding Guest’ which premiered on PrivéHD on November 23.</p>.<p class="Question"><strong>It’s been over a year since the film ‘The Wedding Guest’ hit the screens.

With theatre, it’s purely based on the content. With others, it’s a variety of things. It could be the director, the platform or the script itself.
