India, May 13 -- Karan Tacker, who skipped his birthday celebrations on May 11 due to the current situation in the country, has come a long way in his career. From his early days as a charming lover boy on television, he went on to do intense roles in web shows such as Special Ops (2020). He feels that is important as an actor should not be confined to any one kind of role. "We have three platforms [movies, TV, OTT] today, and everyone has their individuality and their own problems. This one problem of slotting of actors tends to happen across all verticals," says the actor, who recently joined the cast of Anupam Kher's directorial Tanvi The Great. He continues, "After Khakee: The Bihar Chapter (2022), I got a lot of cop roles immediately. This still happens, but as an actor, it's on you how you want to take your career ahead. Sometimes, the industry can behave a little stunted; they look at what you are doing to offer you roles which they feel they can see in you. That's the basic challenge - you keep manoeuvring." Citing his own example, he elaborates, "I came into acting as a romantic hero on TV. Everything I had done had a very strong love-oriented role. Because I started playing all these macho roles in recent times, I don't get offered romance [roles] anymore. I miss that a bit as an actor. I feel I get very serious, investigative kind of roles; no one is coming to me for a romantic character. It makes you think maybe the makers don't believe I can't court a woman!" Currently, he is rejuvenating after wrapping up the London schedule of his next series....
