Talking about what his mother Rati Agnihotri has been up to, Tanuj Virwani revealed she had gone to Poland during the pandemic where she opened a few restaurants.
Set to win hearts with his role in Netflix's upcoming action thriller, Rana Naidu Part 2, Tanuj Virwani recently opened up about his mother and veteran actress Rati Agnihotri. The actress forayed into the Hindi film industry with the film Ek Duuje Ke Liye opposite Kamal Haasan and went on to collaborate with many superstars to deliver big Bollywood blockbusters. Lately, she has been away from the screens. Now, her son Tanuj has revealed she might not act again.
In a recent conversation with Zoom, Tanuj Virwani was asked whether he would share screen space with his mother Rati. Replying, he revealed the veteran actress has retired from acting. The actor said, 'My mom is more or less retired from acting. I don't know if people will get a chance to see us together on the screen. She is enjoying her life."
Talking further, Tanuj also revealed what her mother has been up to. He added, 'Prior to the pandemic, she had gone to Poland, where my maasi lives. They opened a few restaurants there. Now, she is back in town. She is enjoying her life in the 60s. I don't know if she is going to act again. If she does, we will definitely try to do something together."
Tanuj Virwani made his acting debut in 2013 with the film Luv U Soniyo. Since then, he has appeared in several Hindi films and web series, including One Night Stand, Inside Edge and Code M. Looking ahead, he is set to portray a key role in Rana Naidu Part 2, which also stars Rana Daggubati and veteran actor Venkatesh in the key roles.
In another chat with Moneycontrol, Tanuj opened about his experience of working with Rana Daggubati. All praises for the Baahubali actor, Tanuj said, 'He's not one of those guys who just gives a shot and goes back to the van. He hangs out on set. He's very affable. He makes the new guys coming on set like I was a newcomer on the set. He made us all feel very, very welcome. It was truly an honour and privilege working with him."
Rana Naidu 2 will begin streaming on Netflix from June 13. The upcoming season also features Arjun Rampal, Surveen Chawla, Kriti Kharbanda, Sushant Singh, Abhishek Banerjee and Ashish Vidyarthi besides Rana Daggubati and Tanuj.
