Avinash Tiwary on career shift with Ginny Wedss Sunny 2: I need to be in the theatres to stay relevant

Avinash Tiwary talks about his journey

Bollywood actor Avinash Tiwary, known for his role in Laila Majnu, has recently wrapped up the filming of his highly anticipated Ginny Wedss Sunny 2. The actor has delivered back-to-back blockbusters with another most-awaited film in his pipeline.

However, Avinash still feels that something is missing in his journey. Talking about his projects, he said, “Sab kuch hote hote kuch bhi fatt kyun nai raha hai (why aren't the projects making a big splash), I don't get it.”

He elaborated, “Every project that I do has 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 I do doesn't get its due at that point, and then it happens later. Apne yahan jab tak Mumbai me aawaz nahin hoti, logon ko pata hi nahin chalta ki kuchh hua hai.”

While discussing breaking away from his OTT image with Ginny Weds Sunny 2, Avinash added, "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 further noted, "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."

“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,” added Avinash.

For the unversed, Avinash Tiwary rose to prominence with his stellar performance in The Mehta Boys. He then went on to star in several hit projects like Bambai Meri Jaan, Khakee: The Bihar Chapter and the comedy caper, Madgaon Express.
