Tanuj Virwani's Murshid promo
ZEE5 shared a gripping promo of Murshid on Instagram. The promo highlights Tanuj Virwani's Kumar Pratap Rana revealing that Kay Kay Menon aka mafia don Murshid Pathan is not his 'biological father'. It further sheds light on the trouble mounting in his married life. It is followed by Kumar Pratap stopping Murshid Pathan from hugging him. He says, "Main vardi (uniform) mein hoon."
The promo ends with Tanuj's character being informed that Murshid's encounter has to happen. However, Kumar Pratap states that can't see him die in front of him. While sharing this promo, the streaming platform wrote, "Jab personal aur professional worlds honge collide, kya chunega Kumar Pratap - duty ya family? Murshid premieres 30th August, only on ZEE5 (sic)."
Tanuj Virwani talks about his character in Murshid
In an interview with Times Now, Tanuj said his character Kumar Pratap Rana in Murshid is different from the roles he did in the past. "For starters, I’ve never played a police inspector before. The background he comes from, the emotional baggage he carries—it’s all very different from character to character. I’ve mostly played very urban, South Mumbai-centric characters. This character was different in many ways. That’s why it’s so important to surrender to your director," he said.
Meanwhile, Murshid will premiere on ZEE5 on August 30, 2024. You can also watch the series with your OTTplay Premium. Are you excited to watch Murshid on streaming? Tweet to us @ottplayapp on X and share your thoughts.
