Avinash Tiwary made his debut last year with the film Laila Majnu. Unfortunately, the film failed to make a mark at the box office, but Avinash impressed one and all with his performance in the film. The actor will next be seen in Netflix’s anthology, Ghost Stories.
Avinash has worked in the segment that is directed by Karan Johar. The actor recently stated that he had never thought Karan Johar will cast him. Avinash said, "I never thought Karan Johar will cast me. As an outsider, this was a perception fed to me. So, finally, when the offer came my way, it validated my faith in my craft.”
“After Laila Majnu, I had no expectations. I had waited two-and-a-half years for the film's release, but it was wiped out in a week's time. I was disappointed, but the film got a new lease of life post its release on an OTT platform,” he added. Finally, he was approached by Anushka Sharma for her production venture. Tiwari said, "For four months after the film's release, I had no offers coming my way. Then Anushka Sharma's production house approached me for Bulbul."
Well, now he is super excited about Ghost Stories. He said, "Karan Johar constantly seeks talent; he has his ear to the ground. He had not watched Laila Majnu, but he had heard of me. So when this project came to him, he sought me out. Working with him has done wonders for my self-confidence. Now, I feel as if I deserved this for long."
Karan Johar’s segment in Ghost Stories also stars Mrunal Thakur and Kusha Kapila. The anthology will start streaming on Netflix from 1st January 2020.
