Beyond the big screen, he earned widespread public affection as a contestant on Bigg Boss Telugu Season 2 in 2018, where he was noted for his calm and composed personality, a sharp contrast to his aggressive on-screen personas. Over the years, he has successfully expanded his reach across multiple languages, including Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi, appearing in notable projects such as Rowdy Rathore and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. In the 2026 period action thriller Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups, Amit Kumar Tiwari plays a pivotal supporting role alongside "Rocking Star" Yash. Within the film’s dark, 1980s Goa-based narrative, his character is integrated into the complex underworld hierarchy that Raya (Yash) navigates. His casting adds to the film's gritty authenticity, as he joins an ensemble that includes international actors like Natalie Burn and Kyle Paul, as well as Indian stars like Nayanthara and Kiara Advani.
