Actor Abhimanyu Dassani believes it's necessary for a performer to have "self-belief and patience" in order to avoid getting stereotyped. Dassani, 32, made his acting debut with Vasan Bala's critically-acclaimed feature 바카라˜Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota바카라™ (2019), and followed it up with Karan Johar-backed romance 바카라˜Meenakshi Sundareshwar바카라™.

The actor, whose latest release is action-comedy 바카라˜Nikamma바카라™, said his goal is to keep evolving with time.

바카라œI will break the tag that people will give me. If I can do a festival film like 바카라˜Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota바카라™ and give a Dharma romantic movie 바카라˜Meenakshi Sundareshwar바카라™ next and then a commercial hero film like 바카라˜Nikamma바카라™. Every time I'm put in a box, I will break it. It is a long-term goal for me. One needs patience and self-belief,바카라 the actor told PTI in an interview.

In his time in the film industry, Dassani has given numerous auditions and the actor said the process is an adventure that helps him refine his skills. 

"For me, giving an audition is performing. I enjoy the process... I believe I have a long way to go till I reach a stage where my name is enough. Until then, it is an adventure I will like to take with a smile," he added.

The actor said he even bagged Sabbir Khan-directed 바카라˜Nikamma바카라™ through an audition.

Billed as an action entertainer, the movie also starring Shilpa Shetty and Shirley Setia, revolves around a young, jobless, carefree boy  (Dassani) and his love-hate relationship with his sister-in-law (Shetty). 

The film is a remake of 2017's Telugu hit 바카라˜Middle Class Abbayi바카라™, starring supertstar Nani.

Up next for Dassani is director Umesh Shukla's feature film 바카라˜Aankh Micholi바카라™, a slapstick comedy also featuring Paresh Rawal, Abhishek Banerjee, Vijay Raaz, Divya Dutta, Sharman Joshi and Mrunal Thakur. The film is scheduled to be released sometime this year. 

"I am happy with the work that I am doing. I do not plan things, I believe in slow and steady wins the race," he said.
