Avinash Tiwary Instagram – The love I have received for the last month or so is something i am forever indebted For those who know me…know what #BambaiMeriJaan meant for me… Its a process of more than 4years for me…with absolute commitment and belief that we were upto something special.. Still remember testing @castingbay for it on 7th feb 2019 just 2 days before i went to shoot #Bulbbul. i got a confirmation call only by late September 2019,Meeting my Director @shujaatsaudagar in end of October to finally jumping into it on 1st November 2019 when i cut my moustache and started exploring this guy Dara Ismail Kadri… On this journey,decided to gain weight,grow hair,no vanity,no grooming to ensure tht he never appeared desirable(so much for glorifying nd making a hero outta a true ‘G’) We started shooting by Feb 2020 only to be stopped by a lockdown…the huge set( built on an approx. 8acres land piece in Madh) dismantled for the first time during rains of 2020. We could rebuild the whole set to resume shoot only by Feb 2021(While all actors maintaining their looks and the entire crew exhibiting their integrity and commitment of the highest order) Unfortunately we were affected by another lockdown in 2021 and then 40% of the set blew up during the cyclone of June 2021…Destroying all our hopes and efforts to make this Epic Saga come to reality. I am generally a very optimistic guy but to believe that a project of this stature, magnitude,budget mounted on my shoulder would see the light after repeated damages and loss would be absolutely delusional. I can’t thank @primevideoin @excelmovies to stand by the potential they saw. This show has been a personal journey of dreams,aspirations…taking Indian Film/Shows/Content at a Global level… It has given me a confidence that we are now ready for the world to consume our films like we have until now… Never in the history of our Film Industry could we reach to more than 200 countries and if this does not inspire every creator in this country to ensure we scale ourselves to a Global level i dont know what will. Forever grateful🙏 Sharing some moments from this journey…
