Sunil Grover talks about getting typecasted
- IndiaGlitz, [Monday,July 26 2021]
Sunil Gorver is known for his amazing run as comical characters Mashoor Gulati and Gutthi on the Kapil Sharma's comedy shows. These shows have typecasted him as a comedian although he has given amazing performances in serious roles as well. However, unlike most actors, Sunil isn't too bothered about getting typecasted. He takes it as a positive thing that people are accepting him.
He shared, It is okay to be boxed. I am fine with it because eventually, people will box you with what they see and like. Boxing also means acceptance that they accept you in a certain way so rather than it being said in a way that it is limiting, no I think it is acceptance.
After walking out of 'The Kapil Sharma Show', Sunil got work in projects like 'Tandav', 'Bharat' and recently released sunflower. He says, They were roles which I had thought would not come my way and they started coming…Forget the roles, the mediums also have new mediums approaching…I was kind of not prepared or I had not planned. And I feel like a newcomer and I feel that fresh wave of communicating with audiences and approaching new work.
