Avinash Tiwary Says Imtiaz Ali Drove Him ‘Beyond Vanity’ for Netflix’s O Saathi Re

His remarks point to a renewed focus on inner life over looks under Ali’s direction.

Overview

  • Avinash Tiwary, in a PTI interview published Tuesday, said Imtiaz Ali pushed him into uncharted territory on the upcoming Netflix series O Saathi Re, which he called one of his hardest roles.
  • The series reunites the duo after 2018’s Laila Majnu, which Tiwary says made physical beauty feel irrelevant to his craft.
  • He said Ali’s process draws out deep emotions that even actors may not recognize in themselves.
  • Reflecting on Vishal Bhardwaj’s O’ Romeo, he called it a milestone yet wished more viewers had connected with it, as reports place its worldwide gross above Rs 100 crore.
  • He next appears in Ginny Weds Sunny 2, set for theatrical release on April 24, keeping his slate active as O Saathi Re readies for Netflix.
