Imtiaz Ali pushed me to go beyond vanity in new show: Avinash Tiwary

MUMBAI: (Apr 21) Actor Avinash Tiwary says filmmaker Imtiaz Ali pushed him into uncharted territory with their upcoming series, “O Saathi Re”, which he describes as one of the most difficult roles he has ever done.

The series reunites the actor with Ali after the 2018 romance-drama, “Laila Majnu”, that has achieved cult status for its storytelling. The filmmaker had written the screenplay of the film, which was directed by his brother Sajid Ali.

Tiwary credits Ali for altering his perspective on “vanity and desirability” first with “Laila Majnu” and now with “O Saathi Re”, a romantic-drama series for Netflix.
