Avinash Tiwary

Avinash Tiwary has had two back-to-back web series releasing on streaming giants Prime Video and Disney +Hotstar respectively in the past month. In 'Bambai Meri Jaan', Tiwary shone as the dreaded gangster Dara Kadri and effortlessly pulled off a layered and complex role. In Bejoy Nambiar's 'Kaala' that was released on Disney plus Hotstar last month, Tiwary was seen as Kolkata IB officer Ritwik Mukherjee. The actor was seen in two diametrically opposite characters in the same month giving visibility to his versatility.

'Bambai Meri Jaan' was Avinash Tiwary's third web series in a year. He was also seen in the Netflix original series 'Khakhee: The Bihar Chapter' where he played a gang leader Chandan Mahato. The series was well received and was created by ace filmmaker Neeraj Pandey.

This constant feature of Avinash Tiwary is different genres and different platform has also led people to revisit his Bollywood debut film 'Laila Majnu'. While Tiwary had a big screen debut, it was his striking performances on direct-to-OTT releases that introduced his work to a larger audience. His swift performance as Satya in the supernatural OTT film 'Bulbul' may be looked at a milestone that opened more avenues for him.

When asked how he views the current phase of his career, a confident Tiwary tells mid-day.com, "The light is shining for now. It is just beautiful, because when the light is falling on us we all shine through. That's my understanding. It's the culmination of all the hard work put together and I keep joking about it, that it is the power of compounding that all the effort you put in over the years kind of start translating into something bigger and better. This is the moment that probably I would say is a turn around for me and my career."

His character in Bambai Meri Jaan has gained him widespread recognition and praise from all quarters. Praising his work, filmmaker Karan Johar had said, "When asked how he views the current phase of his career, a confident Tiwary says, "The light is shining for now. It is just beautiful, because when the light is falling on us we all shine through. That's my understanding. It's the culmination of all the hard work put together and I keep joking about it, that it is the power of compounding that all the effort you put in over the years kind of start translating into something bigger and better.
