'Disappointed with scripts coming my way'

Mumbai: Jim Sarbh, who has given critically-acclaimed performances in films such as Neerja and Padmaavat, says he feels underwhelmed with the kind of scripts coming his way.

He has also starred in Sanju and was most recently seen in Amazon Prime Video's 'Made in Heaven'.

"Films have always been my first love but because I kept getting cast in plays or because the school I went to didn't have film acting course. It just had theatre studies – I came from a theatrical tradition.

"I have spent the better part of my life reading some of the best plays in the world. I am spoilt. I imagine that each script I get should be as good as those plays and I am often sorely disappointed." Having played some of the most iconic parts on stage, the longing to do good work in films has only increased, Sarbh, 31, says.
