Avinash Tiwary wonders why his work feels loved but still overlooked; says, “It is something I have not been able to understand”
Avinash Tiwary has just finished filming Ginny Weds Sunny 2, his first solo commercial movie to hit theaters since Laila Majnu in 2018. Although he has found success over the past two years with shows like Bambai Meri Jaan, Khakee, and Kaala, as well as movies like Madgaon Express (2024) and Sikandar Ka Muqaddar (2024), the actor still feels that “something is lacking.”
Avinash Tiwary said, “Sab kuch hote hote kuch bhi fatt kyun nahin raha hai, I am not understanding. Most of my works, they’ve almost been loved by everyone who have seen it, but why only few have seen, it is something I have not been able to understand. It feels like every work that I do, it doesn’t get its due at that point and then it happens later. Apne yahaan jab tak Mumbai mein aawaz nahi hoti, logon ko pata hi nahi chalta ki kuch hua hai.”
Would you say that having more OTT projects recently influenced your decision to choose a theatrical release with Ginny Weds Sunny 2, perhaps to move away from the ‘OTT actor’ label? He agreed, saying, “The OTT actor tag only happened because there was COVID but I was looking at doing theatricals. And last year, I was doing a couple of films, which kind of didn’t take off and that’s when I realised I need to take control of things to create a distinction that I’m not just only on one platform.”
The actor shared, “I was supposed to do a big Excel film which didn’t take off last year, but theatre is going to be a larger part of my filmography. If I want to have any relevance in this country as an actor, I need to be in the theatre. I have two films which came in theatres and both worked last year, be it Madgaon Express or Laila Majnu. It happened in the present scenario where in theatres, people don’t know what’s going to work. Thus, I need to go and build on it. I look at this phase of my career as a building phase.”
However, he holds the web space in equal regard and commitment, “I have always looked at OTT as an opportunity to reach out to the audiences around the world. But theatre is the way to ensure that I have connectivity and relatability with the people in India,” he concluded.
