Tanuj

Tanuj Virwani, the son of actress Rati Agnihotri, started his Bollywood career with ‘Luv U Soniyo’, directed by Joe Rajan. He next appeared in 2014 film ‘Purani Jeans’ directed by Tanushri Chatterji Bassu opposite Izabelle Leite and Aditya Seal. His last appearance was in Jasmine Moses D Souza’s ‘One Night Stand’ opposite Sunny Leone, which released in 2016. Sadly, none of these films performed well at the box office, but Tanuj Virwani is set to showcase his acting skills again in Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s maiden web series, ‘Inside Edge’ which is the story of the Mumbai Mavericks, a T20 cricket franchise playing in the Powerplay League. The story is based on the format of conflicting interests, where selfishness is almost a virtue, where sex, money, and power are mere means to an end. Inside Edge will let audience witness the game behind the game.

Tanuj, in Inside Edge, plays the role of a bratty cricketer, the star player of his team. The actor’s character, according to insiders, is loosely based on all-rounder Yuvraj Singh.The show also stars Richa Chadha as the owner of the team that Tanuj Virwani belongs to. Even as actress-entrepreneur Preity Zinta has denied claims of Chadha’s character being based on her,

A source reveals, “For the first three seasons, Yuvraj was a part of Preity’s IPL team Kings XI Punjab. Similarly, in the show, Tanuj is part of Mumbai Mavericks, a T-20 cricket franchise owned by Richa.” Tanuj, who is seen making out with a cheerleader on the show, imitated Yuvi’s mannerisms for his part, says a source. “Tanuj picked up various nuances of Yuvraj. His character’s name is Vayu, similar to Yuvraj’s pet name, Yuvi.”
