For Jacob, being surrounded by popular actors like Siddique and Priyamani was challenging initially. “This was my first film, and first time on set with a large production company, so I had butterflies in my stomach. But when you hear your director say, ‘Cut, well done’, that makes you feel like you have achieved something in a small measure,” says Jacob. Talking about his co-stars, Siddique and Priyamani, his on-screen lawyers, Jacob says, “It was Siddique who made me feel comfortable whenever I was overwhelmed. Working with Priyamani was great because she would also speak in Kannada and we would crack local jokes sometimes and have a good laugh.”
Following a successful run in theatres, Neru is now on OTT. While Jacob is in talks for future roles, his passion for food is here to stay. “2024 started on a beautiful note and Neru is now on OTT reaching multiple audiences. We will be opening a brewery in Sarjapur soon and I am looking forward to that too,” says Jacob.
