Avan Jogia Is Done Playing It Safe — And It Shows
Avan Jogia isn't just picking roles anymore — he's building entire worlds, and he wants you inside them.
The actor and filmmaker has always had range, but his latest moves prove he's playing a whole different game. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jogia deliberately sought out his two newest projects — horror thriller 'Backrooms' and crime drama '56 Days' — with one specific goal in mind: total immersion. Not just for himself, but for every single person watching.
Jogia told The Hollywood Reporter that the draw wasn't just a good script or a flashy character. It was about finding stories that pull audiences so deep into their world, they forget where they end and the film begins. That's a tall order — and by all accounts, he delivered on both counts.
With 'Backrooms' tapping into one of the internet's creepiest modern myths and '56 Days' diving into the claustrophobic tension of lockdown-era crime, Jogia has stacked his slate with projects that demand attention. This isn't background noise cinema — it's the kind of work that sticks. The Hollywood Reporter makes clear that for Jogia, immersion isn't a buzzword. It's a personal mandate.
