Tanuj Virwani says, ‘It is not easy to pull a series like Tandoor t hat in the middle of pandemic and that too in a city like Mumbai’!

#RashamiDesai and #TanujVirwani starrer #Tandoor has released on Ullu. Directed by #NiveditaBasu the series has got an overwhelmingly positive response on the trailer and the music. Tanuj and Nivedita have come a long way since their beginnings.

Speaking about his friendship with Nivedita Tanuj says,”Nivi and I know each other for a long time. When I first stepped in the industry to work she was the one who actually gave me a lot of good advice. Over the years we kept in touch. Last March we discussed a bit about Tandoor and when we were thinking of doing this together, the lockdown happened and everything was shut down. once things started opening up we started filming. Tandoor was a different experience for me. I guess I was not a logical choice for the role. But it was Nivedita who had the trust in me. I could take this risk of doing Tandoor because of her. She is also someone who gives her actor a lot of freedom.”

Speaking about his producer Chitra Vakil Sharma he says,“Chitra and I did not know each other before we collaborated for Tandoor. But we gelled very well. She is also staring off as a producer in the webspace and was very excited about the project. I always believe any kind of film or webseries have two reasons to be made – the sheer entertainment factor and the second one is a story which you want to tell in a meaningful way. And Tandoor is loosely based in true event so there is a certain sense of responsibility and Chitra has handled the project in a very good way. It is not easy to pull a series like that in the middle of pandemic and that too in a city like Mumbai which was a hotspot for the virus last year. Very commendable of Chitra.”
