Jim Sarbh is one of those actors who is just different,not just for his acting but for his whole vibe . Always comes across as so well-read and thoughtful.
So he was recently in Mumbai for promoting his new OTT series ‘Made in India: Titan Story’ . And he said something very simple but very him,“I like to watch things I like. I like to read things I like.” Honestly,that’s such a clear way to look at life,just surrounding yourself with things and people that make you think .
And his reading list is also very interesting ah . He mentioned The Confederacy of Dunces and also Me Talk Pretty One Day by David Sedaris. That's pretty diverse taste,from serious humour to something else entirely.
He also praised one show on Apple TV,Widow's Bay,and recommended it for people who like quality storytelling .
And tbh,this mix of humour and introspection is exactly what you see in his acting style too. It just fits .
But coming to the main point,his new series ‘Made in India: Titan Story’ is streaming on June 3, 2026 . It’s about the whole journey of how Titan became such a huge brand. Sarbh is playing Xerxes Desai,the former MD,which is a very important role .
Few key things about this series:
- Sarbh is playing the character of Xerxes Desai,showcasing vital era in Indian business.
- It's an adaptation from Vinay Kamath's book 'Titan - India’s Most Successful Consumer Brand'.
- The series is directed by Robbie Grewal and produced by Almighty Motion Pictures .
What's really interesting is that the whole story is set in the pre-liberalisation era in India . That was a totally different time,a different world for business and for the country. It will be fascinating to see how they capture that whole period of change.
This series feels like it’s not just about one brand only . It’s more about that whole spirit of Indian innovation and resilience. Seeing Sarbh step into the shoes of a business leader like Desai will be a compelling watch for sure.
With release date getting closer,people are really waiting to see this mix of history and drama . But will it capture real essence of that time and that struggle…
