Tanuj Virwani has marked a decade in the industry, first gaining fame with his role as Vayu Raghavan in the 2017 Amazon series ‘Inside Edge‘. Since then, he has built an impressive career with roles in ‘Illegal – Justice’, ‘Out of Order’, ‘Cartel’, and ‘Murder Meri Jaan’.
In a candid chat with The Free Press Journal, Tanuj shared that his first three films didn’t perform well at the box office.His career saw a turnaround with the rise of OTT platforms, especially with ‘Inside Edge’. He faced a challenging period during the COVID pandemic, questioning whether it was safe to continue working. Ultimately, he decided to move forward and is grateful for that choice.
Virwani said that he views his journey as more ‘evolutionary than revolutionary’, contrasting it with the rapid success of his ‘Inside Edge’ co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi. He explained that while Siddhant experienced an overnight transformation from shooting ‘Inside Edge’ to becoming a star, his own path has been more gradual, marked by steady progress rather than sudden fame.
The actor also shared insights into how his journey has shaped up, revealing that he is now focused on solidifying his presence across three mediums: film, web, and television. This year has demonstrated that one can thrive and gain acceptance in various formats, showing that actors don’t need to limit themselves to a single path.
