Bhay- The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery Trailer
The trailer opens with a tense on-ground investigation that immediately drops the viewer into the world Gaurav once navigated. Flickers of unexplained activity, distressed calls, batteries running out, with spirits lurking around, and contradictory accounts stitch together a journey that began with him as a pilot and a life-altering experience led him to the metaphysical church in England, eventually making him India’s first paranormal officer.
The narrative positions his battles upfront, scepticism from peers, family concerns, and the emotional baggage of confronting the unknown, all told through real case files and field notes. Running alongside that is Irene Venkat’s arc, played by Kalki Koechlin. She is an writer and journalist who starts unconvinced but is pulled into Gaurav’s world after his sudden death on the age of 32. As she retraces his last steps and revisits the investigations he left behind by penning down a book on Gaurav Tiwari and his life, the trailer hints at a bigger truth in regards to the man behind the myths and the legacy that now defines him.

Karan Tacker On On Bhay- The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery
Speaking about playing Gaurav Tiwari, Karan Tacker said, “Taking over this role was one among the hardest experiences I’ve had, because I used to be portraying someone who genuinely believed he was coping with forces far beyond what we are able to fully grasp, and who tragically left this world under unsettling circumstances. Filming his story shook me in ways I didn’t expect; he was someone who desired to be understood and acknowledged, and I’m grateful that, in some small way, I could help bring his journey to light.”
He added, “To grasp Gaurav, I needed to recognise the courage it takes to follow a calling most individuals query. His life was full of doubt, pressure, and real danger, yet he never stopped chasing the reality. Portraying him was intense and altered me as an artist. I’m thankful I got to bring India’s first paranormal investigator to the screen and step right into a world that’s each real and eerily unexplainable, and I’m excited for viewers to experience the emotion, mystery, and sheer intensity that shaped his path.”
Kalki Koechlin On On Bhay- The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery
Kalki Koechlin, who plays Irene Venkat, added, “Irene’s journey is about looking beyond perception. She begins with scepticism, but as she learns about Gaurav after his passing, she realises the various layers that were a component of his life and work. That emotional shift was one major factor that drew me to the role. Playing Irene allowed me to explore that balance between curiosity and vulnerability, and it was a privilege to bring that to the screen.”
