Upon receiving this prestigious nomination, Jim Sarbh couldn't contain his excitement. He expressed, "I was having quite a weird few days, and then all the pieces wrapped up neatly and I heaved a huge sigh of relief, played a game of sweaty basketball, cycled home in the cold sweet rain, went in for a shower, and came out to all these messages and calls. I was an hour late to watch Dirty Harry with a neighbour, so I ran up, told him about the nom, and then we proceeded to watch the movie. ‘Do you feel lucky, punk?’Yes. Honoured to be nominated for the International @iemmys amongst such talented artists. I loved playing Dr. Bhabha. Rocket Boys is deeply etched in my mind and heart. @pannuabhay @nikkhiladvani. Big love to everyone who helped create the show. @emmayentertainment @roykapurfilms @sonylivindia And @virdas and @shefalishahofficial: COME ON!!! (sic.)"

Behind the scenes, "Rocket Boys" was brought to life by a formidable team of creators. It was conceived by the visionary minds of Nikkhil Advani, Roy Kapur Films, and Emmay Entertainment, with Siddharth Roy Kapur, Monisha Advani, Madhu Bhojwani, and Nikkhil Advani steering the ship as producers. The show was expertly helmed by director Abhay Pannu and the captivating narrative was crafted by Abhay Pannu and Abhay Korrane.

As the anticipation builds for the 51st International Emmy Awards, Jim Sarbh's nomination shines as a beacon of excellence and a testament to the remarkable storytelling that continues to emerge from the world of entertainment.
