I have found myself gravitating towards characters that aren’t pure or holy: Avinash Tiwary

Mumbai| Actor Avinash Tiwary, who plays a baddie in the upcoming streaming series, ‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’, feels there’s far more thrill and creative satisfaction in essaying characters with grey shades. He shared that he naturally gravitates towards characters which are not ‘good’, or are unconventional.

Elaboration on the same, Avinash says: “There is a lot more colour in playing grey shades on screen. I have always found myself gravitating towards characters that aren’t all pure or holy. I find a different energy in chasing the layers of characters.”

He further mentions: “The more morally corrupt a character is, the greater the joy there is for an artiste to play it. I have never believed in playing it safe and I hope my choices reflect that.”

The actor, who has earlier worked in OTT movie ‘Bulbbul’ and horror anthology ‘Ghost Stories’ both from the house of Netflix, will again return to the streamer, this time making series debut with Neeraj Pandey’s ‘Khakee: The Bihar Chapter’.

The actor adds that the preparations for the part were not easy. “It was a research intensive role that needed investing hours in knowing the material through and through. Obviously every beat of this character had to be learnt to the tee. The best part about doing a series is that there is that much more leg room to go into the depths of this character’s personality and psyche.”
