Jimmy Sheirgill

In films like A Wednesday, Madaari, Mukkabaaz and many more, Jimmy Sheirgill has been seen doing intense roles. At a recent media interaction, Jimmy was asked about the kind of roles that interest him. Answering this question, the Tanu Weds Manu actor responded saying, "I think I have played various kinds of roles in my career but I want to do more comedy films. I like to work in light-hearted films as it makes me feel relaxed, so I would like to do more comedy films." Jimmy Sheirgill will next be seen in Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3 alongside Sanjay Dutt, Chitrangada Singh and Mahie Gill. The actor is happy with the response to the film's trailer and songs.

"The specialty of this series is that first part of the series was well-received by the audience and it also did commercially well at the box-office, and so we made second part of it on a bit larger scale and it also did well. So, the makers of the film thought that we should make a third part of the series, so this time again we have raised scale of the film," he said.

Well, this is for the fourth time that Jimmy will be seen sharing screenspace with Sanjay Dutt, sharing his experience on working with the star, he said, "We have worked with each other in 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.', 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai' and 'Eklavya'. This is our fourth film together. I always feel really good working with him.

"But this time the interesting thing I wanted to see in this film was how Tigmanshu Dhulia and Sanjay Dutt combination will transpire on big screen, and I think that combination will get lot of appreciation from the audience," added Jimmy.

Saheb, Biwi Aur Gangster 3, releasing on July 27, is an action thriller produced by Rahul Mittra.
