Nitesh Tiwari reveals about the ‘nitpicking’ of Bawaal; says, “People were overtly nitpicking what I would say”

Opening about the negative reaction he received from certain quarters, Nitesh Tiwari said, “People were overtly nitpicking what I would say. Predominately the kind of feedback I got was very very positive. People who consumed it, had it the way it should have been consumed, rather than overly nitpicking.” However, in the same breath, he also asserted that he has accepted their negative opinion about the film, as he added, “But, having said that, no offence, people can nitpick also. I respect their opinion because that is exactly what it is when you put out a work in a public forum. You have to be ready for all kinds of reactions. It’s great learning also, from all of that. I take it all in the right spirit. I try to learn as to how can I improve things going forward.”

Bawaal brought together Janhvi Kapoor and Varun Dhawan for the first time in a unique love story where a troubled married couple sets out to explore the world and learn a lot about love, marriage and the intricacies of these relationships as they draw parallels between their relationship and war. The movie had a digital release on Amazon Prime Video on July 21, 2023.

As for his next project, Nitesh Tiwari recently worked on Tumse Na Ho Payega which is based on the book How I Braved Anu Aunty and Co-Founded a Million Dollar Company by Varun Agarwal. The film, directed by Abhishek Sinha, features Ishwak Singh, Mahima Makwana, Gaurav Pandey, Gurpreet Saini, among others and released on September 29 on Disney+ Hotstar.
