Abhimanyu Dassani

By Bollywood standards, Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota (2018) was quite an unconventional debut vehicle for Abhimanyu Dassani. The actor, in his second outing, is taking a shot at the tried-and-tested genre of romantic comedy with Meenakshi Sundareshwar. Stating that romantic comedies have universal appeal, he says, “Most people enjoy watching them. Since we go through similar situations at some point in our lives, they are relatable, real and entertaining. Rom-coms spread positivity and love.”
