Talking about his new Jack Sparrow look Ashish says: “Johnny Depp is one of the most recognised actors of world cinema. His performance as Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series is commendable. The makers have given my look similar to that of Sparrow’s. It is just not about the look, I have worked very hard on the body language to pull off Dharti’s look. I completely Indianised the look and made it desi with rural accent. I’ve adapted Malwa region dialect for this one to keep the authenticity. The experience was full of fun.”
