83 star Saqib Saleem recalls finding himself 'very bad' in Race 3, says some reviews were 'nasty, felt slightly personal
Hindustan TimesSaqib Saleem is gearing up for his first big-budget release in over three years. The actor, who was last seen in the critically-panned Race 3, will be seen essaying the role of Mohinder ‘Jimmy’ Amarnath in 83, a film based on the 1983 World Cup. Ahead of the release, Saqib sat down with Hindustan Times for a candid chat about the film, the challenges he faced while playing Mohinder and the impact of Race 3's critical failure. I remember reading a particular review and it said, 'The usually reliable Saqib Saleem is restricted to adding bro after every dialogue and he's hanging in the film.' Everybody's a legend, don't get me wrong, but I knew for a fact, without reading the script, that Mohinder Amarnath will be an important role to play in the film.
