Maanvi Gagroo is currently gearing up for her upcoming Amazon Prime video’s web show ‘Four More Shots Please!’ which also features Kirti Kulhari, Bani J and Sayani Gupta in the lead. In a recent interview, the actress spoke about her shocking casting couch experience.
In an exclusive conversation with Koimoi, Maanvi Gagroo said, “A year ago, I got a call from a random unknown number. They were like ‘we’re doing a web series and we wanted to cast you.’ They told me the budget and I said, ‘nai nai yaar, this is too less and why are we talking about the budget? “
“Tell me the script, only if I’m interested and you are interested in roping me, we can discuss about money, dates and all.’ So he’s like ‘we’re asking people if they are okay with the budget.’ When I said ‘nahi, it’s less’, he tripled the budget just in his next sentence. He said, ‘I can give you this much also, but aapko ‘compro’ (compromise) karna padega.’” she added.
To this, Maanvi Gagroo revealed that she was really mad on hearing the word ‘compro,’ she said, “This words ‘compro’, ‘compromise’ I was hearing after 7, 8 years. Suddenly I don’t know what triggered me, I started abusing him. Told him ‘aap phone rakho, how dare you? Mai police ko complaint kar rahi hu’. I was really mad because in this pro imposed #MeToo era, I was baffled at how things like this still happen.”
Four More Shots Please! season 2 is slated to release on April 17, 2020, only on Amazon Prime Video and in multiple Indian languages such as Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
