Veteran actress Rati Agnihotri’s son Tanuj Virwani has made a special place in the web series world with his hard work and strong performance. Soon he will be seen in the second season of ‘Rana Naidu’. He spoke openly on his new role, career ups and downs and star kids. Read the major part of the conversation-

Question- What was the reason for ‘Rana Naidu’ joining the second season?

answer- I joined the show because I have worked with Karan Anshuman, who are also our show runner and co-director of the first season, with him I have worked on the first three seasons of ‘Inside Edge’. We have a good acquaintance. When he was developing the script for season 2, we met and he told me that there is a very cool character that will suit me.

I am a big fan of the first season, I like this kind of killing shows. Then we met, they narrated me and I liked it very much. We also have a good creative tuning. So I immediately said yes. My character’s name is Chirag Oberoi. Kriti Kharbanda and I will be seen as siblings in it, which is quite different dynamic. Rajat Kapoor is in the role of our father. We have some business dealing, which we get caught in Rana’s net in order to fix. What happens next, it will be worth watching in the show.

Rana Daggubati, Arjun Rampal, Venkatesh are among the important roles in Rana Naidu.

Question- How was the experience of working with Venkatesh and Rana Daggubati?

answer- Hey, my first day’s shoot was with Venkatesh Sir. At first he did not know that my mother had been her co-star. When he came to know, he scolded me why I did not tell him before. It was very fun to work with him. It was very nice to work with Rana too. Their character is very difficult because so many colorful characters keep coming in the show, but the consistency with which he has played her character is amazing. We also used to improvise on the set. He is very fond of the camera rolling, his sense of humor is also very good. My relationship with Kriti is very good and I already know Rajat Kapoor.

Question- You made some special preparations for this show? Did something new to make it different from previous work?

answer- In this, I will be seen in a supporting character. When you are the main lead, the responsibility is more and the chance to experiment is a little less. Because here is both Rana and Venkatesh Sir, I got a big opportunity to experiment. I have tried to have a slightly different style of my dialogues. I discused with all my three directors how I like this character. I live in South Bombay, and the style of speaking of many children there is slightly different. They talk a little slowly and have a different accent. So I have introduced his accent in this role by implementing a little. I have also put some manorism and some manrism in it. It is fun to work with such creative people where you can express your creativity.

Question- How are web series affecting your career?

answer- When I decided to become an actor in 2013, the web series was not so trending. At that time, film and TV were the main medium. I wanted to work in films, but the initial films did not work. Then I auditioned for Inside Edge. Then many people said what is this OTT and web series, but I felt that if big names like Amazon and Excel are associated with it and artists like Richa Chadha, Vivek Oberoi are working in it, then something special will happen.

I took a chance and people liked the character of Vayu Raghavan. The show lasted for three seasons. After this, there were opportunities in films too. Right now I am hosting a reality TV show. The most important thing for me was that I never limited myself to the same format. I believe that new actors should not decide whether only the film or only web. When you are flexible, new doors open automatically. And finally, we work for the audience – their choice is most important.

Question- What is your own effort to convert yourself to mainstream and choose leading rolls?

answer- I do not see this way. When I came to a new way in the industry, I used to think I just had to become a hero but over time I understood that when you get connected to a good project, even if you are not in the main lead, you can still stand out of your performance. When my films did not run, I changed my view of my viewing a little. Off Course, I will still be seen in lead roles, whether in films or web series. Like my new film is coming, ‘Johnny Jumper’ with Vijay Raj, in which I am in the title character. My new show in the web series is also a new show ‘Domestic Anti Terrorism Unit’ (DATU), in which I will be seen in the main lead. So I just look according to the project – how is banner, production house, co -stars and rolls.

Question- Why does the tag with star kids not look as strong in your case?

answer- Honestly, I am happy that the tag of ‘Star Kid’ is not associated with my name. today, despite having a support system with many star kids, they are not able to stand in the industry. If you want to become a long race horse, then whatever work is found, it is necessary to use it correctly. If the roles like Ranbir Kapoor or Ranveer Singh are not available, it does not mean that I do not work. If I am also doing a supporting role in Dharma’s film, I am doing it with my hard work. I am also leading and supporting in the web series. today many big stars are sitting at home. Many star kids have been trying for the last 5–10 years, but could not succeed. My mother was once a main lead, but her round was different. If I am stuck in the same old things, then I should go into depression. Mother always supports. She is not only my mother, but also my Best friend. But I had decided that I would do the work on my own and I will make my own contacts.

Rati Agnihotri was among the top actresses of the 80s.

Question- Any role or character who has given you the most satisfaction?

answer- I have got a lot of satisfaction by playing the role of Vayu Raghavan in ‘Inside Edge’. I enjoyed a lot in the show ‘Cartel’. He was quite a tough shoot. I got a lot of irresponsible for that show and I would like to be a part of a dafinetley hysterical project. Till date I have not got a chance to work in historical, so it is expected that my desire will be fulfilled.
