Sunil Grover says, who stars in the crime comedy-drama series `Sunflower`, says he is grateful to filmmakers who envision him beyond his familiar avatar of a comedian.

"It is totally in the hands of makers as to what role they offer. I am known as a comedian and people have enjoyed my comic avatar for the longest. I was offered a negative character in "Tandav" and credit for that goes to (series creator) Ali Abbas Zafar. He envisioned me differently and all I had to do was act. I was nervous doing the role, but eventually, people appreciated my role. Now my role in `Sunflower` is totally different -- he has a lot of innocence," says Sunil.
