Maanvi Gagroo on getting typecast

 Actor Maanvi Gagroo says getting typecast as the best friend of the lead star or "bubbly Punjabi girl" in big-budget films led her to move towards the digital medium, which is a more character-driven space.

While working in a prominent movie helps the artiste showcase their work, it may also lead to more offers to play similar characters, she said.

Best known for her work on the web in series like TVF Pitchers, TVF Tripling and Amazon's Four More Shots Please!, Gagroo's film credits include No One Killed Jessica, PK, and Tu Hai Mera Sunday, among others. 

"On the big screen, the kind of roles that I was getting were the heroine's best friend or the hero's sister or a bubbly Punjabi girl. So, there would be all these trappings and that I was not really enjoying. With big films there is a lot of footfall, a lot more people see your work. But the problem is you are much more liable to get stereotyped," the 35-year-old actor told PTI in an interview.
