Actor Tanuj Virwani, known for his dynamic performances in web series like Inside Edge, Code M, Cartel, and Kamathipura, is all set to appear in the much-anticipated Season 2 of Rana Naidu. The Netflix crime drama, which stars Venkatesh Daggubati and Rana Daggubati, returns on June 13, 2025, and Tanuj is set to make a powerful entry with a character he describes as “exciting and liberating.”
Tanuj, who plays Chirag Oberoi, will be seen in a crucial role that promises to stir the already intense narrative. Speaking about his inclusion in the series, Tanuj shared how the opportunity came about through his long-time collaborator, Karan Anshuman, who also created Inside Edge.
“The experience has been truly phenomenal. I am a massive fan of the first season,” Tanuj said. “In fact, I used to keep pestering Karan Anshuman, who has been my showrunner for all three seasons of Inside Edge. I would tell him to give me a role because I really wanted to be part of his universe.”
After much persistence, the chance finally arrived.
“A few months later, Karan came back saying he was developing something and thought I’d be perfect for a part. When I heard the narration, I instantly loved it. I knew I could bring something different to the table.”
What drew Tanuj most to the role was the creative space it allowed.
“When you’re the lead, there’s more responsibility, and sometimes less freedom. But when your role is vital yet limited in screen time, it frees you from the shackles. That’s what Chirag Oberoi did for me. I am cautiously optimistic and I hope the audience enjoys watching it as much as I enjoyed being a part of it”
The series also introduces Kriti Kharbanda as Tanuj’s sister and Rajat Kapoor as their father, adding a fresh and intriguing dynamic to the show’s second season.
“There’s a very interesting relationship between the three of us,” Tanuj teased. “I’m cautiously optimistic and truly hope audiences enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed being part of it.”
With his passion and excitement, Tanuj Virwani is all set to deliver a compelling performance in Rana Naidu Season 2.
