Jim Sarbh on discovering Xerxes Desai through the script

For most actors, preparation means research, reading, and immersing themselves in the world of their character. Jim Sarbh chose a different route for the Amazon MX Player series Made in India – The Titan Story. Cast as Titan visionary Xerxes Desai in the six-episode series, the actor deliberately avoided reading the source material, preferring to place his faith in the script and the filmmakers’ vision. “I didn’t read the book. I [wanted] to go by the script and follow the director’s vision,” says Sarbh. He believes audiences who are unfamiliar with the complete story are more likely to engage with the world the creators build on screen. Source link

Does ‘Fasted Cardio’ Actually Burn More Calories and Fat?

The most common way to do fasted cardio is to work out first thing in the morning, before breakfast, since you’ve been fasting all night. (The word “breakfast” even comes from the fact that the first thing you eat is breaking your fast.)Cardio refers to any movement you can do rhyt...
