For
Jim
Sarbh,
who
has
been
attracting
positive
reviews
for
his
portrayal
as
a
slave-general
of
Alauddin
Khilji
in
Padmaavat,
says
working
with
a
nuanced
director
like
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
who
pays
attention
to
detail,
gave
him
an
opportunity
to
try
and
be
as
good
as
the
grand
and
beautiful
frames
in
the
film.
A
theatre
actor
and
a
director
himself,
Sarbh,
who
has
worked
in
films
like
Neerja
and
A
Death
in
the
Gunj,
and
performed
live
in
several
plays
including
Kalki
Koechlin's
The
Living
Room
and
Rajat
Kapoor's
What
is
Done,
is
Done,
says
it's
always
an
empowering
experience
to
work
with
directors
who
are
passionate
about
work.
Jim
said,
"In
Padmaavat,
you
are
pushed
to
be
as
good
as
the
frame,
to
have
a
presence
that
lives
up
to
the
grand,
operatic,
intricate,
beautiful
frame
that
you
inhabit.
I
love
trying
to
rise
to
that.
I
heard
that
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
has
an
eye
for
detail,
and
it
shows
in
his
work,
but
seeing
it
first
hand
is
a
powerful
experience."
"I
feel
so
grateful
to
have
worked
with
someone
who
so
deeply
cares
about
his
film,
about
every
single
element
in
his
frame.
For
me,
that
is
the
most
important
thing,
everything
else
falls
by
the
wayside.
If
I
see
that
everything
the
director
does
is
motivated
by
trying
to
achieve
the
best,
I
can
accept
anything.
I
can
try
to
do
anything
you
want.
I
am
immediately,
passionately,
on
your
team,"
he
added.
Besides
Padmaavat,
Jim
will
also
be
seen
in
Aditya
Vikram
Sengupta
directorial
Jonaki,
a
Bengali
film,
where
he
will
be
essaying
the
role
of
a
lover
of
an
80-year-old
woman,
who
goes
into
coma
and
recounts
her
time
with
him
in
her
younger
days.
On
essaying
two
roles
which
are
"diametrically
different",
Jim
said
even
the
genres
are
poles
apart.
However,
he
said
the
common
factor
is
two
passionate
film-makers.
"Jonaki
is
a
dreamscape:
it's
slow,
it's
not
restricted
to
what
the
actor
brings.
Padmaavat
is
an
operatic,
period,
blockbuster.
What
I
liked
about
both
of
these
filmmakers
is
that
they
care
deeply
about
the
frame,"
said
Jim.
