Avinash Tiwary: Every piece of work I do doesn't get its due right away
India, July 14 -- Avinash Tiwary recently wrapped shooting Ginny Weds Sunny 2, his first solo commercial film hitting theatres since Laila Majnu (2018). Though he found success over the past two years with shows like Bambai Meri Jaan, Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, and Kaala, and films like last year's Madgaon Express and Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, Avinash feels something is still missing.
"Sab kuch hote hote kuch bhi fatt kyun nahin raha hai (why aren't the projects making a big splash), I don't get it. Most of my works have been loved by almost everyone who has seen them, but why such few people have seen them is something I don't understand. It feels like every work that I do doesn't get its due at that point, and then it happens later. Apne yahan jab tak Mumbai mein aawaz nahin hoti, logon ko pata hi nahin chalta ki kuchh hua hai," he says.
Asked if recent OTT roles led him to choose the theatrical Ginny Weds Sunny 2, Avinash agrees it was to shed the 'OTT actor' tag."The OTT actor tag only happened because there was Covid, but I was looking to do theatricals. Last year, I was doing a couple of films, which didn't take off. That's when I realised I need to take control of things to create a distinction that says I'm not just only on one platform," he explains.
The actor further shares, "Theatre is going to be a larger part of my filmography. I was supposed to do a big production house film, which didn't take off last year. If I want to have any relevance as an actor in this country, I need to be in the theatres."
However, he still maintains equal commitment and respect for the web space, saying, "OTT is an opportunity to reach out to the audiences around the world. But theatres are a way to ensure that I have connectivity and relatability with the people in India."...
