Tiwari’s success mantra is simple approach to stories

Filmmaker Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari (right) is happy that people are still talking about her debut film Nil Battey Sannata (2015). The filmmaker believes the reason behind her success is the simplicity of the story. She hopes to continue making such kind of films even in future.

“What started off as working on something (being a director) that I am really passionate about, actually earned me lot of love from the audience,” she says, adding that the film has also earned her popularity she never expected. “My kinds of stories and my approach are usually simple. You know simple always works. It has been the same since a long time. It goes without saying how films like Masoom (1983), I also feel that this is the era of new and different stories. I have actors, writers, producers approaching me with interesting concepts. Even the audience in this age of digital boom is open to different cinema,” says Ashwiny.

About working with actors Swara Bhaskar and Ria Shukla again, she says, “They (fresh breed) know what exactly is working now and what will turn out to be a hit among the viewers.”
