Who would have imagined that a foul-mouthed side character who disrespected women and was also into BDSM, would win hearts so much that he would become as popular as Ganesh Gaitonde. Jatin Sarna who played the role of Bunty in Sacred Games was so good in his role that he instantly gained popularity.
Bunty died in season one of the popular show and fans have been waiting to know if he would reprise his role in the season 2 or not. Meanwhile, it has been announced that the man has bagged a role in Ranveer Singh starrer Kapil Dev biopic.
In movie titled '83, Jatin Sarna will be seen playing the role of former Indian cricketer Yashpal Sharma. He is elated to have bagged a Kabir Khan directorial.
¡°Well, honestly I am a fan of him since New York and other films which he did. The kind of sensibility and entertainment he serves in his movies grew this desire in me to work with him,¡± he said in a statement.

Yashpal Sharma¡¯s top score of 89 runs in the opening match against West Indies had played a major role in India¡¯s win in the 1983 world cup. Talking about playing the legendary cricketer, here¡¯s what Jatin Sarna said.
¡°Playing Yashpal Sharma was something I never imagined. I was given Madan Lal¡¯s part for an audition but it didn¡¯t work out. Though the audition went fantastic and they liked it too. But Harrdy is playing it now and Yashpal came to me which is eventually more interesting with the fact that most people don¡¯t know his story and journey. Actually, India¡¯s 83 win journey starts from Yashpal¡¯s fantastic knock against West Indies in the very first match which laid the foundation for a bigger win.¡±
