Early life
Tiwari studied at the National School of Drama and was termed as the best actor present in the university at the time by numerous professors. This led to him bagging his first film China Gate, which has been critically acclaimed as one of the finest works of Bollywood and was also in contention to be nominated for the Oscars.
He rose to fame with the recurring character of Vasooli, a comical don loosely modeled on Sanjay Dutt's character Raghu from Vaastav: The Reality, in the Rohit Shetty-directed Golmaal film series, starring Ajay Devgn, Tusshar Kapoor and Arshad Warsi, along with Sharman Joshi, Shreyas Talpade and Kunal Khemu. His dialogue from the third installment, "Abbey jaldi bol, kal subah Panvel nikalna hai", became widely popular on social media with a number of memes based on it.
