Jim congratulates his fellow Indian nominees

Jim also showed his excitement on social media for his nomination in the Best Performance By An Actor category for Rocket Boys 2. He said, “I was having quite a weird few days, and then all the pieces wrapped up neatly and I heaved a huge sigh of relief, played a game of sweaty basketball, cycled home in the cold sweet rain, went in for a shower, and came out to all these messages and calls. I was an hour late to watch Dirty Harry with a neighbour, so I ran up, told him about the nom, and then we proceeded to watch the movie. ‘Do you feel lucky, punk?’ Yes. Honoured to be nominated for the International @iemmys  amongst such talented artists. I loved playing Dr. Bhabha. Rocket Boys is deeply etched in my mind and heart.”
