Sparsh, mostly seen in dramas and films set in rural India, had also recently expressed his wish to feature in a more urbane project.
“There is stereotyping, and I do get approached for that (rural characters). Lekin, aap karo stereotype (But, you keep stereotyping), but I will bring something new and fresh to the craft. Once you watch it, it will feel different,” Sparsh Shrivastava said while speaking to us.
Shrivastava was recently seen in the Prime Video series ‘Dupahiya,’ where he played the character of Bhugol. The actor added that he remains unfazed by the industry stereotyping him and also offered a new perspective on it.
