Template:Infobox film actor

Abhimanyu Dassani is an Indian actor who works in Hindi films.[1]

The son of actress Bhagyashree and Himalay, he made his acting debut in 2018 with the action film Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota, for which he won Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.[2] He has since starred in the Netflix romantic-comedy Meenakshi Sundareshwar (2021).

Life and career[edit | edit source]

Hailing from Mumbai, Dassani started his career by assisting director Rohan Sippy on Dum Maaro Dum and Nautanki Saala!.[3] He studied at the New York Film Academy and Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute.[4]

Dassani made his feature film debut with Vasan Bala's action-comedy Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota. It premiered in the Midnight Madness section of the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival, where it won the People's Choice Award: Midnight Madness.[5][6] The film was also screened at the 2018 MAMI Film Festival.[7] He performed all the stunts himself and watched several classic action films for days to familiarise himself with the genre. He broke a finger and dislocated his shoulder while filming.[8] Pradeep Menon of Firstpost said "he occupies the screen well" and noted that "his look suits the character of a guy who has not had enough meaningful interactions with the real world".[9]

In 2021, Dassani played the male lead in the romantic-comedy Meenakshi Sundareshwar opposite Sanya Malhotra, which released on Netflix.[10] The film received criticism for its stereotypical representation of Tamil people.[11]
