New Delhi: Actress Urmila Matondkar known for her superlative performances in films like ‘Satya’, ‘Ek Haseena Thi’, ‘Bhoot’, ‘Rangeela’, ‘Kaun’ and ‘Pinjar’ to name a few, is all set to make a grand comeback with her digital debut in a thriller titled ‘Tiwari’ directed by Saurabh Varma, produced by Content Engineers. The actress plays the titular role in the web series set in a small town and has an emotional mother-daughter story at the core of it.
The makers released a poster today and Urmila’s transformation will surely leave her fans intrigued. The stunning rugged first look is one of the many avatars that Urmila will possess in the entire series.
The actress has been working hard for the previous six months to perform the rough action scenes in the thriller. In the series, Urmila will appear as an entirely new character. With Urmila’s pre-existing vast and varied body of work, this surely becomes a comeback that is eagerly awaited.
Talking about the show, the actress says, “This one offered me characters and a story arc that is challenging as a performer and things that I haven’t attempted so far. Written and created by a team of young writers, the team managed to keep me hooked till the end while narrating it. What I liked the most in the story is that at the core, it’s an emotional mother-daughter story but at the same time it has everything from drama to action to some thrilling twists and turns. I can’t wait to start shooting.”
Filmmaker Saurabh Varma says, “The kind of varied graph Tiwari aka Urmila’s character has in the show, we really couldn’t think of anyone else but Urmila. As a filmmaker and as a studio, we intend to create clean entertaining content that can be watched with the whole family, globally. Tiwari is something that has been loved as a script by all age groups and fits the bill in totality.”
Utpaal Acharya, CEO, Content Engineers says, “As a studio, our focus is totally on content and knowing the repertoire of Urmila, we surely wanted her to associate with something new for her as well as her fans. It’s amazing to see her so committed to the craft even after all these years.”
