Talking about how he navigated that period with half his head shaved, Jim adds, “The regular life was a bit tough. Hats, all the time. If you choose to go bald, that’s one thing.

Bhabha. “In a strange manner, I find myself answering questions about characters based on real-life people many times. 80-90% of the work I have done is playing real people, which is bizarre,” the actor says with a laugh.But despite his ‘expertise’ in playing real-life characters, he has no set process or template for approaching such roles. The actor explains, “I try to treat it based on the script and what the character’s function is based on the overall story. They may not be perfectly how they were in real life, but this is a story at the end of the day. It is based on real people, but it has to have all the elements that make it exciting. I try to view it not with the burden of the past or the real person.”Made in India: A Titan Story also stars Naseeruddin Shah as JRD Tata, along with a large ensemble cast including Vaibhav Tatwawadi, Kaveri Seth, Namita Dubey, Lakshvir Saran, Joy Sengupta, Viraf Patel, and Ashwath Bhatt.
