Jim Sarbh sets record straight about method acting comment, wasn’t targeting Ranveer Singh: “I only had lovely things to say about him as a co actor” June 29, 2024 at 08:51PM

Actor Jim Sarbh on Saturday took to social media to clarify that his previous comments regarding actors and their flamboyant method acting techniques weren't directed towards his Padmaavat co-star Ranveer Singh. This clarification comes after actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui was questioned about those very remarks in a recent interview.

On Saturday, Jim Sarbh took to social media to clarify his stance. “I find this almost absurd to have to clarify, but since folks are running wild with the videos and the articles: Nothing I said refers to Ranveer Singh. The video byte being shared is from Made in Heaven season 2 promotions, 5 whole years since Padmaavat came out. 5 years. I only had lovely things to say about Ranveer as a co actor- look it up. I still do. Also: it is not an attack on process. I love process, and I love actors,” he wrote.

“The video is making fun of actors who exaggerate their process. I’m sure you’ve all met people who talk about their work more than do their work. Can’t wait for the next article or video shooting off my shoulder…. I usually don’t respond to speculative videos and articles, because they’re boring and I assume people know better. Of course, just like some of you, I assumed wrong. Too many people have forwarded me things, and now journalists/interviewers are ‘identifying’ me as a ‘critic’, despite me never having mentioned anyone at all, let alone @ranveersingh.,” he added and tagged Ranveer Singh with several emojis.

Jim Sarbh's comments gained traction after actor Prashant Narayanan also appeared to mock Singh's method acting approach for his role as the villain Khilji in Padmaavat. Singh famously spoke about isolating himself in his home to embody the character, sparking concerns about his mental state upon exiting that headspace. Both Sarbh and Narayanan expressed skepticism towards such an intense process.

In an interview with The Quint, Sarbh commented, “There are all those actors who are like 'You know, I was so stuck in my character that I had to get mental therapy for weeks after.' I was like, 'Shut up bro. You didn't even know your lines on the day, what nonsense'.” Social media users interpreted this as a veiled jab at Singh, prompting Sarbh's clarification.

Bombay High Court orders stays the release of Hamare Baarah, two days before the film’s release June 07, 2024 at 01:02PM

Hamare Baarah, which is making news for its bold approach and thought-provoking plotline, has been mired in controversy, with the makers landing in deep trouble. The highly anticipated release of Annu Kapoor, Manoj Joshi, and Paritosh Tripathi starrer, has encountered a significant setback as the Bombay High Court has issued a stay on its release just two days before its scheduled release on June 7, extending the hold until June 14. This unexpected turn of events has impacted the premiere of the film which was expected to be held this week, leaving makers in an uncertain dilemma. The legal obstacle arises from a petition filed by activists from a specific religious community at the Mumbai High Court, opposing the film's release. Producers Birender Bhagat and Ravi S Gupta have raised serious concerns regarding the imposition of the stay, especially given that the film had already obtained a censor certificate. In a recent statement given to NDTV, Mr Bhagat explained their predicame...
