Tanuj Virwani wanted his mother Rati Agnihotri to play his on-screen mom as well in his debut film

The newcomer says, `When I signed the film, she did not have any idea about it. I just handed over the cheque of the signing amount.

I could see the happiness in her eyes and later when director Joe Rajan and I were discussing about who should play the mother's character we both took mom's name at the same time.

My mom is my lucky charm and I am happy she is a part of my first film,` he says.
