India, June 8 -- For many millennials, actor Maanvi Gagroo first appeared on their screens through the Disney Channel series Dhoom Machaao Dhoom. Nearly 20 years later, she is now one of the most recognisable faces of India's streaming era, with popular shows like Four More Shots Please!, Tripling, and TVF Pitchers to her name. After a six-year gap from theatres, as her last big-screen release was Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, Maanvi is returning to cinemas with Heer Sara.
