Jimmy encourages debutant director

Jimmy encourages debutant director

    For debutant director Ashok Kohli, working with Jimmy Sheirgill in Rajdhani Express — Point Blank Justice was a memorable experience. In the socio-political drama, which marks the debut of Leander Paes and also features Priyanshu Chatterjee, Puja Bose, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sayali Bhagat and Mukesh Rishi, Jimmy plays ATS deputy commissioner Yadav.
    Says Kohli, “Since this was my first film, I was in awe of established names and
felt jittery approaching
Jimmy and my nervousness was apparent when I met him for narration. But he put me at ease instantly. He also assured me that getting other actors would not be a problem because the script had the potential to become a good film. That spoke a lot about the kind of a person he is.”
    The director further adds, “There was a difficult scene, when Jimmy had to get even with an insensitive minister. We did not want the character fuming with rage but be calm and yet make an impact. Jimmy handled the scene with panache.”
    Rajdhani Express — Point Blank Justice, produced by Manoj Kejriwal, Ritika Kohli and Rajesh K Patel and has Piyush Gupta as its project CEO, releases on January 4, 2013.
