Jim Sarbh: Nagarjuna brings this easy vibe on the set
Jim Sarbh
, known for his performance in Padmaavat and web shows like Rocket Boys and Made in Heaven, made his Telugu cinema debut this year with Sekhar Kammula's Kubera. The film, which also stars Dhanush and Rashmika Mandanna, marked a linguistic leap for Sarbh, who took on the challenge of delivering his dialogues in Telugu.
'Learning the lines in Telugu was a challenge. It was like training a different muscle; otherwise, the words would swim in my head, so I really had to do the homework,' the actor said, reflecting on his experience with the language.
Discussing his experience of working with the ensemble cast, Sarbh revealed that while he didn't share many scenes with Dhanush, he had the opportunity to work closely with veteran actor Nagarjuna. 'I didn't have many scenes with Dhanush.
We were kind of kept separately for most of the film. I had a lot of scenes with Nagarjuna sir and he's such a great guy. He brings this easy vibe on the set as he's so relaxed,' he said.

'3BHK' box office collection day 2: Siddharth's family drama gathers momentum with Rs 1.44 Cr on Saturday
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Siddharth's latest Tamil-language family drama '3BHK' is beginning to find its footing at the box office. As reported by the Sacnilk website, after a modest start with Rs 1 crore on its opening day, the film witnessed a healthy upward trend on Saturday. It collected an estimated Rs 1.44 crore across all languages on Saturday. This brings the two-day total to ₹2.44 crore (India net). Steady occupancy across key markets The occupancy numbers for Saturday reflect encouraging interest. In Tamil (2D) shows, the film recorded an overall occupancy of 27.94%, with night shows peaking at 41.49%. Telugu versions also held steady with a 22.81% average occupancy, climbing to 37.36% by night. 3BHK - Official Telugu Trailer In urban centers like Chennai, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru, the film is reportedly pulling in steady crowds, especially for evening and late-night shows. Aditi Rao Hydari's heartfelt support for Siddharth Adding a personal touch to the film's release, Aditi Rao Hydari—Siddharth's wife and Heeramandi star—took to Instagram to cheer him on. Sharing a sweet and emotional message, she referred to him as her 'Benjamin Button / Peter Pan / manicorn.' In her caption, she reflected on the film's core theme: 'The dream every Indian family dreams. To have a home they can call their own... to dream with determination, with hope, with love, goodness, and to never give up.' Our verdict ETimes gave the movie a rating of 3 stars out of 5 and our official review reads, "Siddharth doesn't age! He's believable as both a schoolboy and a grown-up. Sarathkumar brings genuine pathos to the perpetually worried patriarch. Devayani who plays Sarathkumar's wife Shanti, is adequate. But familiarity breeds tedium here. The beats arrive exactly when expected: the well-meaning father who makes questionable decisions, the son who rediscovers his true calling after years of mediocrity, the sacrificial daughter whose potential gets sidelined. Yogi Babu's brief role as a broker offers a couple of amusing moments. At 140 minutes, the film tests patience without offering much beyond recognition. Yes, the struggles will ring a bell. Yes, you'll appreciate the absence of manufactured drama. But recognition isn't the same as engagement. '3 BHK' constructs its narrative like its titular apartment: functional, predictable, and standard." Driven by compelling performances from Siddharth, R. Sarathkumar, and Devayani, '3BHK' seems all set for a steady run if its current pace continues.
