Jim Sarbh goes bald to play Xerxes Desai in Made in India

Robbie Grewal has high praise for Naseeruddin Shah and Jim Sarbh. The reason? The actors leave little for the director to do on set. They come so well prepared that the filmmaker can sit back and let them interpret the story, get into character physically and mentally, and put their best foot forward. That is exactly what he did when he adapted Vinay Kamath’s book Titan: Inside India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand into a six-episode series, Made in India — A Titan Story. The series chronicles Titan’s journey from its establishment in 1984, when Jehangir Ratanji Dadabhoy Tata, insulted by a Swiss watch company, hired Xerxes Desai to create a new watch brand made entirely in India. JRD Tata and Xerxes Desai “It’s a compelling story and a part of history, so we wanted to make it,” says Gr...

The expert urged the need for integrating mental health into the healthcare regimen.
