Opening up on his latest action-drama series, the actor informed: "'Cartel' is a show about the politics of property, land mafia, Bollywood, cricket, glamour -- all these different industries that culminate in the underbelly of Mumbai and a crime syndicate family that is at the head of the table. It's an interesting hyper-realistic, fictionalised account of things that happen in our city, in our own backyard." Throwing light on his character in the series, Tanuj shared: "I play the character of Major Bhau a.k.a. Arjun Mhatre, he is a part of this crime syndicate family. An ex-Army man who has now come back and must steer the ship away from the shore and withstand the storm."

Sharing his experience of playing the character, the actor added: "It's a very introspective sort of character. There's a lot of fun playing it because it was against my mould as an actor and even as a personality. I guess that in itself is the biggest challenge of how to achieve more by doing less. Also, I had to learn some hand-to-hand combat, knife training, gun training and a lot of running through the streets of the city. The physical preparation was quite a task!" Also starring Supriya Pathak, Rithvik Dhanjani, Pranati Rai Prakash, Divya Agarwal, Jitendra Joshi and others, 'Cartel' streams on ALTBalaji and MX Player Gold.
