Deepak Dobriyal escapes being typecast

Deepak Dobriyal says he tries his best not to get typecast in Bollywood by doing a variety of roles.

Actor Deepak Dobriyal, who will be seen in “Tanu Weds Manu Returns”, says he tries his best not to get typecast in Bollywood by doing a variety of roles.

Seen in films like “Omkara” and “Dabangg 2”, Deepak told IANS: “After ‘Tanu Weds Manu’ (2011), I knew I will be offered only comedy roles and I was pretty sure I will reject all of them.”

“If it’s my type of role I will do it but as an actor one should decide what to do and what not to do. That’s why I try to do all kinds of films so that I don’t get typecast.”
