“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.
