5 Performances That Prove Jimmy Shergill is Leading Actor Material

Okay, we will make this point one more time: Jimmy Shergill deserves more!

From not getting enough substantial parts in Bollywood to getting those parts where he never gets the girl, he has constantly been underplayed in the industry. But we won't sulk here. Instead, we'll make a point. 

Here are 5 performances of the actor that will explain what we are talking about:

Yahaan

This war-romance story showcased the actor's acting abilities like no other film has done. That's probably because he doesn't get to play the lead in a conventional romance movie.

Sahib, Biwi Aur Gangster, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster Returns

Playing the role of the pride-filled Aditya Pratap Singh in these two movies showed the actor's ability to sink his teeth in dark and complex roles.

Special 26

It might seem a quintessential Jimmy Shergill part: playing a smaller role efficiently in an ensemble led by bigger stars. But in this movie, he showed flashes of brilliance and delivered an earnest performance.

Unlike most of his roles where he plays a subdued character, his role in Tanu Weds Manu series is that of an eccentric. But like always he did his job with aplomb.

A Wednesday

A cop who is a man of few words seems like a cliche. But in this gripping Neerja Pandey movie, he played the role with a fresh outlook and made the character his own.
