Anand Tiwari speaks on Arjun Rampal’s cameo in Bandish Bandits Season 2: “I wanted to break stereotype"

The second season of Bandish Bandits premiered on December 13 on Prime Video, continuing the musical journey of Radhe and Tamanna. Among the many highlights of the new season is Arjun Rampal’s cameo as Imroz Dehelvi, a writer who has left audiences intrigued. Director Anand Tiwari shared insights into crafting this unexpected character and why Rampal was his ideal choice for the role.

Breaking Stereotypes With Imroz Dehelvi Speaking about Imroz’s character, Tiwari explained his intent to challenge clichés around writers and poets on screen. “We often picture writers and poets in kurta-pajamas, barefoot, carrying a bag. But they can be anything, come from anywhere—even a music school. I wanted Imroz Dehelvi to surprise the audience, to challenge expectations, and seeing Arjun Rampal as that poet definitely breaks the stereotype,” Tiwari said.

On working with Rampal, he added, “Arjun is a dear friend who graciously said yes without knowing much about the role. His depth, security, and gravitas are qualities I have seen him portray in so many films. While working with him on Nail Polish, I discovered even more that made him the ideal Imroz.” Subtle Chemistry Between Imroz and Nandini Tiwari also discussed the dynamic between Rampal’s Imroz and Divya Dutta’s Nandini. Drawing parallels with their earlier collaboration in Dhaakad, he said, “What struck me was the chemistry they shared—it was understated yet magnetic. Their connection is defined by what’s unsaid. A simple exchange like ‘I’ve come,’ or ‘All the best’ carries layers of meaning. That’s the beauty of a mature relationship—the unspoken emotions create the most profound bond.” A Stellar Ensemble Cast The new season, created by Amritpal Singh Bindra and Anand Tiwari, features an ensemble cast including Ritwik Bhowmik, Shreya Chaudhry, Sheeba Chaddha, Atul Kulkarni, and Rajesh Tailang. It also introduces Divya Dutta, Rohan Gurbaxani, Yashaswini Dayama, and others in pivotal roles.

One of the greatest films of all time, Lagaan (2001), completed 23 years on June 15. Starring Aamir Khan and Gracy Singh, it was a fictional period drama about a group of villagers learning cricket, a game alien to them, and playing it against the British. In the pre-climax, when the villagers fear defeat, they collectively pray to God. This is when 'O Paalanhaare' is played and it leaves viewers teary-eyed. The song took a life of its own and is one of the most loved film devotional songs of all time. Many are surprised to know that Javed Akhtar, an atheist, penned this track. At a show ‘Main Koi Aisa Geet Gaaon’, the legendary songwriter opened up about this song and confessed that he got this surprising reaction often. He also revealed how he responds to such comments in his trademark humourous style. Javed Akhtar said, “A famous painter, Chanda, called me and said, ‘Javed, tum apne aap ko atheist kehte ho. Tum jhooth bolte ho. Ek atheist...
