‘Workaholic’ Jim Sarbh says he loved the pandemic-induced break from tasks

Jim Sarbh’s sole release through the pandemic was Taish in 2020. Apart from that, the actor was lacking from the display screen, till Rocket Boys that launched just lately. Talking about this hole in his profession, Sarbh say it was most positively pandemic-induced.

“The pandemic did mess with my schedule, that is why you didn’t get to see me as much as I would have liked. There was a film that I was supposed to do and it got pushed… Rocket Boys was supposed to start and finish much earlier than it did. Everything has been dragging on for a while. Since Taish, there was nothing new for me,” he says.

Sarbh admits that it additionally did get to a degree the place it was irritating. “Only because we would get into a nice rhythm and then we would have to stop. That was a difficult part,” he provides.

But barring the facet of labor getting hampered, the actor fairly loved the break that he acquired on this pandemic.

He tells us, “Because I had enough money and nobody in my family or close friend had any disastrous experience, I f***ing loved it. I had time off. I didn’t have to work. I normally become a workaholic otherwise. I just keep going like yes, yes, yes to everything. And then later I realise why I did I have to say yes to so much work. Even now I am like I don’t want to work because I have got used to having three-four moths breaks. I want three-four months off now.”

Another cause why he preferred having that point off was as a result of it gave him a breather as he invests a variety of time and power prepping for movies not simply taking pictures.

“In general I loved having the time off. I like to prep hard, I like to rehearse intensely. Even though I shot for only 70 days last year for Rocket Boys it felt like the whole year was about the show because I invested so much time prepping , doing workshops,” he ends.
