The film, directed by Joe Rajan and distributed by Viacom 18 Media Pvt Ltd will see the newcomer with former beauty queen Neha Hinge.
"When I signed the film, my mom did not have any idea about it. Later when Joe and I were discussing about who should play the mother's role we both took mom's name (Rati Agnihotri). My mom is my lucky charm and I am happy she is a part of my first Bollywood film," Tanuj said in a statement here.
