Inspector Avinash director Neeraj Pathak admits OTT is falling for formula: ‘There are books on traits hero should have’

In the Indian streaming space, where crime stories based on real incidents are a dime a dozen, Inspector Avinash stands out in one department. It uses real names, at least some of them. What has, until very recently, been avoided even in films, was something that Inspector Avinash attempted with its first season in 2023, using the real names of the protagonist (Avinash Mishra) and the antagonist, Shriprakash Shukla, the dreaded UP don. Neeraj Pathak has written and directed Inspector Avinash. Ahead of the release of the second season, writer-director Neeraj Pathak speaks to Hindustan Times about the show and the evolution of streaming in India. Neeraj Pathak on using real names in Inspector Avinash Talking about the realism of Inspector Avinash, Neeraj says, “In UP, these stories were newspaper headlines. I wanted to make the audience feel they are in the UP of 90s. So, if I used one real name, that helped the audience believe everything else was real, too.” But even then, using a real gangster’s name is a tricky thing to …

Vinay Pathak on micro drama trend: `My heart sank but it also means more work`

Vinay Pathak on micro drama trend: `My heart sank but it also means more work`

Actor Vinay Pathak believes that the strongest creative collaborations are often rooted in something far simpler- friendship. Reflecting on his long-standing association with filmmaker and actor Rajat Kapoor, Pathak shares that their bond has been decades in the making. The two recently collaborated for the ZEE5 original Everybody Loves Sohrab Handa, a well-crafted and written murder mystery.  Vinay Pathak on working with friends In an interview with Mid-day, Vinay spoke about working with good friend Rajat Kapoor who served as the writer-director of the latest release. “Sometimes we ponder together, sometimes we just question things together. The process has been tried and tested for the last 30 years—friends first and collaborators later,” he says, adding, “It has worked for us.” That sense of camaraderie extends to actor Ranvir Shorey as well, though Pathak admits their friendship came later. “I introduced Ranvir to Rajat, and then they became friends too. We’ve all been close ever since,” he recalls. For Pathak, working with friends brings an intangible advantage. “Doing everything with friends helps, even doing nothing. Just …
