Tanuj Virwani

Tanuj Anil Virwani is the only son of veteran yesteryear actress Rati Agnihotri. He was born and raised in Mumbai. He is a Hindi film actor and an avid cricket buff. He loves collecting movie props and super hero figures. Tanuj also makes short films under his banner 'Pin Drop Violence' films. Tanuj completed primary school at Arya Vidya Mandir and secondary school at Bombay Scottish School. During his school days, he had no interest in being a part of movies in any capacity. He wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and become a real estate developer. However, after playing a small role in a school adaptation of 'Merchant of Venice' in class 10, the acting bug first bit him. When he graduated to HR College, he took a more active interest in drama. His first job was as a clapper boy in a film titled, 'Aao Wish Karein'. The next film Tanuj assisted on was the Shahid Kapoor and Genelia hit 'Chance Pe Dance'. He worked on the project for over a year. By the end of shooting, he was absolutely certain that even though he enjoyed being behind the camera, it was being in front of it that really appealed to him. In the summer of 2011, Tanuj started training. This was a very important phase in his growth as a person as well as an actor. By mid 2012, Tanuj landed his first film. B.R. Chopra's banner would be presenting him in a coming-of-age love story titled 'Purani Jeans'. However, owing to financial issues that the production house was facing, the film was shelved. Shortly thereafter, Tanuj was signed on for Kabir Sadanand's 'Fugly'. Unfortunately, that too was scrapped. A new producer by the name of Joe Rajan came along offering to launch him in a rom-com opposite Miss India International Neha Hinge. The film was shot in 2013. However, it was stuck once shooting wrapped owing to lack of buyers. Around this time, Tanuj got a call from his 'Purani Jeans' director who said that the project had been revived and Eros International would now be producing it. All of a sudden, other production houses were interested in backing his current project, 'Luv U Soniyo'. Finally Viacom came on board and released it in 2013. The following year is when 'Purani Jeans' released. In December 2014, Tanuj bagged a film opposite Sunny Leone. Tanuj prepared rigorously for the part and even did a short workshop with one of the industry's best acting coaches, Atul Mongia. The film released in May 2016 and despite a lukewarm reception at the box office, Tanuj was praised for his performance. After the release of 'One Night Stand', Tanuj assisted on a trilingual (Hindi, Tamil, Telegu) film starring Kamal Haasan and Shruti Haasan. Directed by Kamal Haasan, the film is titled 'Shabash Naidu'. More recently, Tanuj worked on a web series titled 'Inside Edge' that Excel Entertainment and Amazon Prime are producing.
