Mukesh Tiwari “China Gate” fame opens up on his cinematic journey
Remember, Mukesh Tiwari. The ‘China Gate’ fame actor will be completing his 25 Years in the Film Industry.
‘Vasooli Bhai’ Mukesh Tiwari says “Villains Have Vanished From Hindi Cinema”.
In ‘China Gate’, the role of the dreaded villain Jagira was played by Mukesh Tiwari.
At present Mukesh is busy with his upcoming projects, both in OTT and in the Southern film industries.
About his upcoming work, the actor, for a long time, he had been waiting for good stories and let go of mediocre roles. He feels to be a seasoned actor and need to wait for right opportunities.
For Mukesh Tiwari, No comparisons with anyone as he is really happy to be offered very good roles in Southern films. His thirst as an actor is being quenched with regional films for now. As of now, he is doing a Telugu film where he plays an antagonist along with actors Gopichand and
M Nassar. The project is helmed by A Harsha with whom he had done a Kannada film Anjani Putra featuring Puneeth Rajkumar.”
The actor expresses that he if the audience is openly accepting Southern films, then it’s time for the Hindi industry to think about its approach in order to cater to a wider audience. He further added,
villains have vanished from Hindi cinema. We are catering to metro audience, but we need to rethink about places where 80% of India lives. Regional makers are working on script and production big time, their stories are rooted, they have a hero and villain and weave stories around relationships, society and family. The Hindi industry has drifted from stories from our society and family. In a bid to show new realism and advanced society we are losing our social fabric.
Hindi audience have given him a lot of love. More than my negative roles, Vasooli Bhai (Golmaal) gave him unbelievable popularity and recognition. He has a zero PR person.
Tiwari is quite serious and excited about OTT as a few of his OTT releases have been well-received by the audience. “Web shows Dahan and Garmi were widely watched in Hindi heartland, Bawaal is still trending. Films are in their place but on OTT you get better exposure as the reach is wider and one does not have to buy tickets! Kaam to karte hain sabhi but it’s important that it’s watched – else jungle mein mor nacha kisne dekha!”
On the work front, Mukesh Tiwari will be next seen in Hansal Mehta‘s Scam 2003 and film Ground Zero shot in Jammu and Kashmir and Hari Om Hari that was shot in Varanasi. Apart from these, the actor is also busy shooting for Hindi projects along with several Telugu, Tamil and Kannada films.
