Sohum Shah, who played a stockbroker in the critically acclaimed, 'Ship Of Theseus', is happy with the positive response. Besides finding support in
Kiran Rao, the actor’s performance and the film’s unconventional theme found praise from
Aamir Khan,
Naseeruddin Shah,
Karan Johar,
Rajkumar Hirani,
Dibakar Banerjee,
Shyam Benegal,
Mira Nair,
Shekhar Kapur and Deepa Mehta. They are impressed by the strength of Sohum’s performance, his range as an actor and how he made the audience emotionally connect to his character.
Anil Kapoor mentioned, “There was this one thing that I noticed when I saw the film — the actor in the third story was fabulous, and they told me his name is Sohum Shah. He reminded me of myself in one of my early films,
Woh Saat Din.”
Anurag Kashyap said, “Sohum Shah is also the producer, thus you tend to suspect, but what a gem, natural and real-to-the-core actor.”
