In the period from 1958 to 1963, the young actor lit up in a whole series of films, in particular, performed the main roles in such films as "Who saddles a horse?", "Kind people" and "Under one sky".

Career development

After the successful start of a career in the cinema, Megvinetuhutsi Otar Vakhtangovich ceased to attract attention of a wide spectator audience for a while. For a decade, he was given predominantly secondary and episodic roles in rather mediocre Soviet films. Therefore, the artist returned to the theater and focused on stage activities.

An unexpected surge in the actor's popularity came in 1977, when Otar Vakhtangovich was asked to play a major role in the multi-series television project "Shores". Here the talented theater actor appeared in the image of Datu Tutashkhia - a noble robber.

In 1991, Otar Vakhtangovich was invited to another big project - the film "Izid!" By a young and promising Soviet director Dmitry Astrakhan. In his work, the author of the tape decided to address the theme of the oppression of the Jewish population, which was fashionable at the time. The main role of Moti Rabinovich was offered to the characteristic actor Otaru Meghvinetuhutsi. The actor agreed to play in the film, but at first he was rather surprised by the choice of his own candidacy, because he did not consider his stage character appropriate for this role.

Despite the absence of Dmitry Astrakhan's experience in large projects, the film "Izid!" Was expected to be a great success. Attention did not deprive Otar Vakhtangovich. Immediately after the successful launch of the film at the box office, the actor was awarded the honorary award of the International Film Festival in Tokyo for the best performance of the male role. Then the artist was followed by the prize of the International Film Festival "Constellation".
