Tiwary, who works in the music industry and has written Broadway shows including Green Day's American Idiot, describes Epstein as his "historical mentor".
The Wall Street Journal quotes him as saying: "I could really relate to a lot of the struggles Brian had. Telling his story is a very passionate labour of love for me.
"I wanted to work in artist management, I wanted to manage bands. I thought, 'If I'm going to manage bands, I should study the great artist managers'."
Tiwary also confirmed plans to bring The Fifth Beatle to the medium of film in the future.
