Newcomer Tanuj aspires to follow Ranbir Kapoor's trajectory

Veteran actress Rati
Agnihotri's son Tanuj
Virwani, who is making
his debut in Bollywood,
wants to follow the route
of Ranbir Kapoor.

Ranbir made his debut with Sanjay Leela
Bhansali's 'Saawariya' in 2007 which did
not do that well at the box office. But that
did not deter him and he kept doing good
work in films like 'Bachna Ae Haseeno',
'Wake Up Sid', 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani', 'Rocket Singh', 'Rajneeti',
'Rockstar', Barfi' and 'Yeh Jawaani Hai
Deewani'. Ranbir received critical acclaim
as well as commercial success with his
films.

"I look up to Ranbir Kapoor. He is an
inspiration to many for the kind of work
he has done in such a short time. He has
given his best with every film, from
'Saawariya' to 'Wake Up Sid' to Rockstar'
and Barfi'. I aspire to follow his trajectory," Tanuj told .

The newbie is making his debut in
Bollywood with Joe Rajan's 'Luv U Soniyo',
where he is paired opposite Miss India
(2010) Neha Hinge.

Tanuj, who plays the role of a college boy
in the film, feels his contemporaries will
relate to the character.

"He is fun guy, loves to party. Then he
happens to meet this girl and how his life
changes post that...it is about how a boy
turns into a young man," he said.

Rati will also be his on-screen mother in
the film. "In the film my mother is shown
as no more, so we have just used the
photo of my mother. She is part of the
film but not physically... it's just her
photo," he said.

Backed by Viacom 18, 'Luv U Soniyo' is
slated to release on July 26. With the film nearing its release, Tanuj
has mixed emotions and hopes the film to
do well.
