Rising Star

Tanuj, the son of Rati Agnihotri and Anil Virwani, has indeed caught on strongly in appeal. The dapper star is all set to make his big-screen acting debut in Luv U Soniyo on May 11. “I’ve always wanted to do something in the creative field. But I never really imagined that I would be an actor one day,” he says. Tanuj thought that direction and script writing was his thing and even went on to assist in movies like Chance Pe Dance and Aao Wish Karein. “I understood the technicalities of film making as well as how to deliver when I’m in front of the camera.” The spontaneous actor has certainly done his homework well as he has already written, directed, scripted, edited and acted in three short films! “All eyes are on India now as we are on the brink of change and since today’s youth are dynamic, smart and full of conviction we are not far from being one of the leading countries globally in the years to come,” concludes an optimistic Tanuj.
