Avinash Tiwary on working with Jimmy Shergill: “Life has come full circle”
Avinash Tiwary shares his emotional journey of working with his idol, Jimmy Shergill, in 'Sikandar ka Muqaddar', reflecting on how life has come full circle.
Jimmy Shergill is gearing up to take audiences on a gripping journey through the upcoming web series ‘Ranneeti: Balakot & Beyond’, which has been creating quite a stir. The series dives deep into the aftermath of the Pulwama terror attack and the subsequent response by the Indian Air Force, all under the direction of Santosh Singh.
In a recent interview, Shergill opened up about the daunting task of portraying real-life heroes whose contributions often go unnoticed. He spoke about the challenge of embodying characters whose identities are shielded from the public eye, remarking, “So, such people who do so much behind the scenes, but their faces, their names never come out. So, obviously, it’s a big challenge.”
Shergill highlighted the lack of tangible references for actors portraying soldiers and policemen, underscoring the unique demands of such roles.
