Full Story
Avinash Tiwari told in an interview, “As an actor, I try to search for the truth in a character, whoever they may be. When I was decoding the mind of Chandan Mahto (the criminal he plays in the web series), I realized that all his criminal activities actually are a result of fear. He has an immense fear of something and he turns his fear into anger. Anger is followed by rage and he then uses violence to take control of everything. Of course, his goal is to achieve power and that’s his motivation, but the real reason behind his violence is fear.”
He added, “Sex appeal is something that doesn’t always come from vanity. I, as an actor, do not look at vanity while playing a character, but, yes, there is a charm in being powerful. At times, it is not the good looks but the swag that increases a character’s appeal. After watching Chandan Mahto in Khakee…, if anyone says, ‘Dekh ke mazaa aa gaya’, then I will take it as a compliment!”
