MUMBAI: Actor Avinash Tiwary has opened up about his desire to shed the OTT tag as he gears up for the release of “Ginny Weds Sunny 2.”
While he has gained recognition for his performances on digital platforms, the actor is now focused on making his mark in mainstream cinema. Talking about shedding his OTT image, Tiwary told IANS, “The OTT actor tag only happened because there was Covid, but I was looking to do theatricals. Last year, I was doing a couple of films, which didn't take off. That's when I realised I need to take control of things to create a distinction that says I'm not just only on one platform.”
“Theatre is going to be a larger part of my filmography. I was supposed to do a big production house film, which didn't take off last year. If I want to have any relevance as an actor in this country, I need to be in the theatres.”
