Tanuj Virwani reveals the rationale for his year-long hole after Rana Naidu

Tanuj Virwani is beaming with pleasure for being a hands-on dad. The actor, who was among the many early Bollywood names to make the leap to OTT with Inside Edge (2017), has been juggling work and household life with ease. After wrapping up the shoot of the JioHotstar movie Jumper in 2024, launched in August, and Rana Naidu 2 (2025), Virwani moved away from the display screen for longer than anticipated. In dialog with mid-day, the actor opens up about fatherhood, studying parkour, and his expertise of working with Vijay Raaz in Jumper.
