MUMBAI : Avinash Tiwary is a well known actor in the world of entertainment. His debut film Laila Majnu has re-released in cinemas. He said, “Sajid Ali [director] mentioned that the last time he went to a theatre, there were only seven people watching Laila Majnu. Today, there are housefull boards running across theatres.”
He added, “The film is available on OTT and YouTube. I have been told people don’t go to cinemas today, and then to see people flocking to theatres [for Laila Majnu] is magical. This has happened due to public demand. People called for it, and when the opportunity came, went all out to show their love.” The re-release’s collection has surpassed that of its original release within four days. This also underlines the actor’s belief that art should be made for longevity. “We’ll hopefully inspire people to look at art for longevity, and not as a trade market. Today, we try to lure and manipulate audiences, but if we value their love, we should be honest with them.”
Avinash who is awaiting two releases The Mehta Boys, and Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, which will reunite him with Neeraj Pandey after Khakee: The Bihar Chapter (2022). HE said, “The Mehta Boys is written by Alexander Dinelaris Jr, who was one of the four people who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for Birdman [2014]. It’s a father-son story. It’s set to première at a big film festival soon. Sikandar Ka Muqaddar is a heist thriller. Neeraj Pandey has been a showrunner before, but this is the first time he is directing an OTT film.”
On audiences demand to see Avinash in a romantic film, the actor said, “I’d love to do romantic movies. But I would want them to have something special; I want to avoid template romantic films.”
