Actors usually try to avoid getting typecasted as it confines their range and limits their working opportunities as well. However, Sharib Hashmi believes that typecasting isn't really bad if you love the kind of roles you are getting. Sharib is best known for his role as Intelligence Officer in 'The Family Man' and now he's going to appear in a similar role in 'The Great Indian Murder'.

Sharib told IANS, “I do not really choose a project just to prove my versatility as an actor rather the impact of my character in the narrative. You see, in today’s day and age, I do not think actors are getting stereotyped anymore. And even if they do, at least I can talk about myself. I do not mind getting stereotyped for playing the same kind of character. So tomorrow if I have to play another RAW agent, a police officer, or a driver again, I will do that.”

Sharing his unique perspective on the concept of typecasting, he said, "I look at it as a compliment that people think I play them convincingly. I do not see it as a limitation for a performer because I can bring variety even in them, something that is not written in the script but exists in my acting!”

Talking about his character from 'The Great Indian Murder', Sharib said, “I am playing a tribal officer who is in search of something and through that journey how he becomes the part of the murder mystery of Vicky Rai. Since it is a thriller, I cannot really reveal more than this."
