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.
