“OURS IS THE MOST DEMOCRATIC INDUSTRY!” ft. Anand Tiwari

Actor, director, writer — Anand Tiwari joins Cyrus for a wide-ranging conversation that starts at Shivaji Park, passes through Marathi theatre, college festivals, advertising sets, and lands at Bandish Bandits, Go Goa Gone, and beyond.

They talk about:

• Growing up multilingual in Mumbai

• Theatre vs cinema (and why both are brutal)

• Almost becoming a professional cricketer

• Working with Naseeruddin Shah — first as an actor, then as a director

• Rage Theatre, President Is Coming & Mumbai’s theatre boom

• Go Goa Gone, zombie comedies & fat suits

• Hollywood sets, Naomi Watts & Sean Penn

• Why passion matters more than glamour in the arts

• And whether Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli should play the 2027 World Cup

Honest, funny, meandering — and packed with stories you don’t usually hear.
