New Delhi: The buzz around Jim Sarbh being a part of Ratan Tata's biopic has been making the rounds for a while. Zee Studios had made an official announcement, followed by Ratan Tata's passing away, to honour his legacy. While the exact date is not known, several reports ranging from October 2024 to May 2025 wrote about the possibility. Ratan Tata passed away on October 9, 2024. Soon rumours about Jim Sarbh being the perfect fit to play young Ratan Tata surfaced online. The similarities in their looks made fans want to see it happen. The plot of the documentary-style biopic is said to revolve around Tata's incredible leadership for the Tata Group and his commendable philanthropic activities. Now recently in a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Jim Sarbh reacted to the ongoing rumours and how he too has seen his pictures being compared to the late Ratan Tata. Jim said, "That would be great. Yeah, I saw pictures of him when he was young, there is a vague similarity. Yeah, I'd love to play it. It would be a great role." No official confirmation has come from the production team on work getting started on the project, nor has there been any talks regarding the cast. While one section of people said that Jim Sarbh qualified to be a perfect pick to play the young Ratan Tata, another section believed Boman Irani or Naseeruddin Shah could be cast as Senior Tata.

Jim Sarbh talks about his camaraderie with Amit Sadh! Says they were the parents of their group
Jim Sarbh and Amit Sadh Jim Sarbh teamed up with Amit Sadh for Rahul DaCunha and Bugs Bhargava's Pune Highway . Little did Jim know that the two would get along really well not just as co-stars but also a buddies. He tells us, 'I enjoyed working with Amit. I enjoyed working with the whole cast but Amit and I probably had the most scenes together. We are more the parents of the group. The characters do move between those two phases like really having fun with each other and also having to deal with a more serious thing that they have ever dealt with before. So, there's the bundle of energy part of it but there is also the more complicated serious bits.' In an earlier chat with us Jim spoke about the experience of working with the director duo, saying, 'They had a very clear vision, which made things easy on set. I never felt confused about who to turn to—they were in sync, and both understood the material deeply. I've seen them direct theatre for years, and to me, they're pretty conventional. In terms of process and clarity, they were spot on. There was a very loving, open environment that flowed from them to the entire crew. That kind of supportive energy is rare—and it really brought the best out of all of us.' About the show, he had said, 'At its core, Pune Highway is about friendship . It's about growing up together—imagine kids who live in the same building, become best friends, and continue to share life's journey into adulthood. There's laughter, there's deep connection—dosti aur hasi—but then, suddenly, there's khoon—a murder, distant yet deeply personal, that shakes the very foundation of this group. I play Vishnu, who's a lawyer who ends up defending some of his own friends after suspicion falls on them. So, in essence, it's a buddy murder mystery , with bonds of loyalty and truth colliding.'

Amit Sadh on Pune Highway release being postponed: Nation comes first
Amit Sadh Pune Highway , starring Amit Sadh and Jim Sarbh , was initially scheduled to release on May 16. However, due to the recent rise in cross-border tensions , the film's producers have chosen to postpone the release by a week, locking in May 23 as the new date. Addressing the delay, Amit shared, 'Country is always first. That's my stand. When India is at war and cross-border tensions are on a rise, you don't think about movies, and you don't think about anything. Like I was the first one to pull the plug. My producers were also on the same page. So, we paused everything there was to be done around the film.' Amit Sadh and Jim Sarbh in a still from Pune Highway His sense of responsibility toward the nation outweighed his professional goals. He added, 'Of course, there's a lot of money at stake. But right now, the country and everything is, that's the biggest thing. So, there were no second thoughts about it. I'll be very frank and honest that this movie means a lot, as I haven't had a release in three years and have not come in theatres in seven years. But India first.' Now that a ceasefire has been reached following a period of heightened military conflict, and the situation has started to stabilise, the team behind Pune Highway is ready to move forward with the film's release. Amit explained, 'Now, when it looks like everything is going back to its normal course, we decided to release the film on May 23. So that we can be again prepared for it because we have paused everything. So now we get a few days to promote the film. We had paused everything, and we had to unpause. We will obviously need some time to promote the film. The hoardings of our film are already out.' He also noted that the earlier release date would have left the team with little time to restart promotions. 'May 16 would have been too close to set things into motion. But I feel a week-long gap will be good enough to reach out to the audience with our offering,' he concluded.

Last Updated: Jim Sarbh and Amit Sadh's film, Pune Highway, initially set for release on May 16, has been postponed by a week. Actors Jim Sarbh and Amit Sadh's upcoming film, Pune Highway, has been postponed. The film, which was slated for release this week, has now been delayed by seven days.

In a statement, makers shared, 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to shift the release of our film Pune Highway from May 16 to May 23. We look forward to seeing you at the cinemas." Pune Highway brings a gripping mystery to the screen, adapted from the acclaimed stage play of the same name. The film is co-directed by Bugs Bhargava Krishna and Rahul daCunha. It is backed by Drop D Films and Ten Years Younger Productions. It features powerful performances by Amit Sadh and Jim Sarbh, supported by a strong ensemble cast including Anuvab Pal, Manjari Fadnnis, Ketki Narayan, Sudeep Modak, Abhishek Krishnan, Swapnil Ajgaonkar, and Shishir Sharma. The recently released trailer teases a taut thriller that unfolds after the shocking discovery of a corpse that disrupts the lives of three childhood friends, plunging them into a series of uncertainty and danger. 'A gang of friends have their lives messed up by the discovery of a dead body in a remote lake, 300 kms away from the city. It is the twisted story of PUNE HIGHWAY from the makers of Barot House And Nail Polish," wrote Sadh, while sharing the trailer.
