Abhimanyu Dassani, who made his acting debut with Vasan Bala's "Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota", has a variety of films in the pipeline and the newcomer says his aim is to explore his range as a performer.
This year, Abhimanyu will feature in two movies -- action entertainer "Nikamma" with Shirley Setia and Shilpa Shetty; and ensemble family comedy "Aankh Micholi", alongside Paresh Rawal, Sharman Joshi and Mrunal Thakur.
The actor said the two projects are completely different.
"I didn't take a film till 'Mard Ko...' released and so there was a delay in the next film. I have been choosy in selecting films. I don't want to be blocked or be put in any box. 'Nikamma' is a commercial-action thriller, while 'Aankh Micholi' is a family comedy," Abhimanyu told PTI in an interview.
The actor revealed that he is also working on a yet-to-be-titled romantic drama film.
"I don't want to do same kind of films again and again. It is important to do different films as that's the enrichment and growth an actor can have. More than the genre, I want to explore my capacity of what I can do and not do," he added/
"This is my first comedy film and I did had some doubts like will I be able to get it? I got it right and Umesh sir is happy with my work."
