Faadu actor, Pavail Gulati, can’t stop raving about his director, Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari.

Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari has emerged as one of the finest directors of our times with some pathbreaking films. She has delved in stories that come straight from the heartlands of this country and explore lives beyond the glitz and glamour.
She’s well acclaimed for her films like, ‘Nil Battey Sannata’, ‘Bareilly Ki Barfi’ and ‘Panga’. She’s known to bring out the rare nuances of relationships and bonds from an earthy setting.

Challenging herself constantly to bring to her audience, stories with interesting narrations, now, Ashwiny is all set to make a foray in the digital space with ‘Faadu’, A story that promises to touch the hearts of millions in a long format with quite a relatable concept.

Pavail Gulati, the actor from Faadu, can’t help but admire Ashwiny’s talent and overall attitude. In a recent interview, he said, “I’m moved by scripts and directors. When I found out Ashwiny ma’am is directing Faadu, I wanted to do it. While platform and storytelling format matter, the power of content can take the world by storm.”

Gulati, who has bonded with the director while working on Faadu, further added about her skills, “Ashwiny ma’am has a clear vision and creates personal bonds with her actors. She familiarises you with the world of the stories.”

Earlier, another actor, Abhilash Thapliyal also admired Tiwari’s style of filmmaking, and found her ability to ‘stay calm amid chaos’ noteworthy. He had shared, “Once when an AD was shouting on the set, she politely asked him to refrain from it. It is a rarity in our industry to have such directors. Her ‘Sab ho jaayega, shanti rakho’ attitude is something I admire and want to emulate.”

Expressing his experience on Faadu sets, Abhilash had also said, “Playing the part of Roxie was a new experience. This character’s perception of the world is different from mine. For me, Faadu is a poetic love story. Every character in the series is a poet in his or her own right, in one way or the other way. I am never [swayed by] the length of my character. What matters to me is the spin that he can give to the narrative.”

Tiwari’s last project ‘BREAKPOINT’ was a hit with the critics and the audiences, so was her debut novel, ‘Mapping Love’. Her story and direction in Ankahi Kahaniya too was hugely appreciated by all. She will next helm the web series, ‘Faadu’, which will be her debut OTT show and also mark her first collaboration with Sony LIV.
