    I wouldn't call myself a method actor: Jimmy Sheirgill

    What's the story

    Jimmy Sheirgill says he is not a method actor but someone who consciously walked away from the sticky mold of a chocolate boy.

    He said one has to constantly be in a character for method acting, which he doesn't do.

    His takeaway from over a 20-year-long career is that he slides in and out of roles when he is out of the camera frame.

    Method Acting

    Sheirgill says method acting has not been his learning

    Sheirgill said: "Method acting is a deeper concept. You have to constantly be that character. You move like him, talk and behave like him till the time you're shooting the film."

    "I can't be living and breathing my characters all the time. When there's a break...you're out of the character. When the shoot's on, you do your job with sincerity and honesty," he added.

    Roles

    Reconsidered decision of taking up less prominent roles in films

    47-year-old Sheirgill, who started off with films such as "Maachis", "Mohabbattein", "Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai", and "Dil Hai Tumhara", says he reconsidered his decision of taking up "less prominent" and "meatier" roles early in his career.

    "I knew I had to try out something else, that's why I moved to films like 'Haasil', 'Munna Bhai MBBS', A Wednesday!', 'Yahaan', 'Tanu Weds Manu'."

    Mukkabaaz

    Mukkabaaz provided a pleasant shock to the audience

    This year opened with a bang for Sheirgill as the terrifying-yet-calm upper caste influential man Bhagwan Das Mishra who tries to sabotage the boxing career of Vineet Kumar Singh's Shravan in "Mukkabaaz".

    He says though he did some grey characters in "Eklavya" and "Sahib Biwi and Gangster", the reason why the audience lapped up "Mukkabaaz" with both hands is because of its blatant nature.
