Rashami Desai and Tanuj Virwani-starrer web series Tandoor was recently released on Ullu. Tanuj shares a special bond with series’ director Nivedita Basu and producer Chitra Vakil Sharma. Speaking about his friendship with Nivedita, Tanuj says, “Nivi and I know each other for a long time. When I first stepped into the industry, she was the one who actually gave me a lot of good advice. Over the years we kept in touch. 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 actors a lot of freedom.”

Speaking about Chitra Vakil Sharma, he adds, “Chitra and I did not know each other before we collaborated for Tandoor. But we gelled very well. She is also starting 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.”
