The 27-year-old actor first appeared as a supporting character in indie film "Myoho" in 2012. He then went on to play the title role in 2014 film "Titli" in which he worked with Ranvir Shorey, Amit Sial, Shashank Arora, Lalit Behl and Shivani Raghuvanshi.
"Rock On 2", in which Shashank has shared screen with Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Shraddha Kapoor and Purab Kohli, will hit theatres this Friday.
"If you think you will be stereotyped may be because of the script or if you do supporting roles in the same area then it might be so. But I don't think you can be pinned. Lead roles come on the basis of your talent," Shashank told PTI.
His last release "Titli" was an intense film, which was not the typical Bollywood movie and "Rock On 2" is a commercial Bollywood affair.
