Rati Agnihotri plays on-screen mother to real life son Tanuj in Luv U Soniyo

Rati Agnihotri will be seen playing mother to her real life son Tanuj Virwani in his debut film Luv U Soniyo. The film directed by Joe Rajan, also features Neha Hinge in the female lead. Tanuj says when he had signed the movie, his mother had no idea, but when he told her about it and handed over the cheque of the signing amount to her, the gleam in her eyes reflected her happiness. "Later, when Joe and I were discussing about who should play the mother's character, we both suggested mom's name. It's as if we were thinking on the same wavelength. My mom is my lucky charm and I'm happy that she is part of my first Bollywood film," said Tanuj in a statement. Co-produced by Harvey India Productions and Odyssey Corporation India Limited and distributed by Viacom 18 Media Pvt. Ltd., the film is set for release on 26 July (2013).
