Avinash Tiwary has captured attention since his breakout role in “Laila Majnu.” Following the film’s re-release, he has continued to achieve success in mainstream cinema, with notable performances in “Madgaon Express” and “O Romeo.” His upcoming film, “Ginny Wedss Sunny 2,” marks the third occasion where he appears shirtless on screen while portraying a pehelwan, or Indian wrestler. Interestingly, Tiwary reveals that the expected female attention from these scenes has not materialized.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Tiwary reflected on his role in “Ginny Wedss Sunny 2,” addressing the misconceptions surrounding his appeal and opening up about his views on marriage. When questioned about the trend of him appearing shirtless in films, he clarified that it has happened in just three films, as his co-star Medha Shankr pointed out, including “Madgaon Express.” He emphasized that these shirtless moments do not convey desirability, stating, “In ‘O Romeo’, it was a macho thing.”
Surprisingly, Tiwary has received more messages from male fans appreciating his physique than from women. He humorously mentioned the compliments from “gym bros” on social media, recognizing that his romantic role in “Laila Majnu,” where he appeared less muscular, garnered more female attention.
Reflecting on his character as a pehelwan, Tiwary expressed a desire to create a scene purely for desirability in the future. “I want to have a scene where I come out of a pool and have girls look at me,” he said, adding a lighthearted twist to the conversation.
Turning to the theme of marriage, Tiwary noted the similarities he shares with his character, Sunny, particularly the pressure to settle down. While he had once envisioned getting married and starting a family, he has since adapted to the changing trajectory of his life. “When it doesn’t happen in life, a person moves on and finds new milestones,” he explained. He acknowledged that although societal pressures can be challenging, he has shifted his focus as life progresses.
Tiwary maintains a belief in the institution of marriage but observes that societal views are evolving. He feels that marriage is becoming increasingly relevant for those hoping to start a family. He candidly mentioned that he wouldn’t have minded marrying 5 to 10 years ago when he was more inclined toward family life.
” Ginny Wedss Sunny 2,” directed by Prasshant Jha, serves as a spiritual sequel to “Ginny Weds Sunny” from 2020. Alongside Tiwary and Shankr, the film features prominent actors such as Sudhir Pandey, Lillete Dubey, and Govind Namdev. Audiences can look forward to its theatrical release on April 24.
