Jim Sarbh has officially arrived in Tollywood and the audience is loving this new villain. In Kuberaa, directed by Sekhar Kammula, Jim plays Neeraj Mishra—a ruthless, high-profile businessman who’s not just filthy rich but filthier in morals.
With a perfect mix of arrogance, charm, and menace, he delivers a performance that’s equal parts stylish and terrifying.

It’s a testament to his dedication, and it shows. Even alongside powerhouses like Dhanush and Nagarjuna, Jim holds his own. He commands attention every time he’s on screen.
Kuberaa also marks a rare move for Sekhar Kammula, who typically steers clear of traditional villains. But casting Jim as a proper antagonist has worked out well for the film.

This could be the start of a new chapter for Jim Sarbh in South Indian cinema. With the right roles, especially intense antagonists, he has the potential to become one of the most in-demand villains in the Telugu industry.
Let’s just hope he isn’t typecast the way Tarun Arora, Jisshu Sengupta, Abhimanyu Singh, and even Sanjay Dutt were. Because Jim Sarbh is clearly capable of much more.
