He went on to say: "For 'Cadets', I felt it was a great journey. In my view, I learned much from all my costars- specially Gautam, who gave more tips than the directors. Every member of a film set, including the production team, the director and the cast, plays an important part in it.

Talking about the same, Tanay shared with us, "I have been on set my whole life working with great people like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and many others since I was four years old. The experience I have gained in this journey has been priceless. I have never considered myself as anything other than an actor, and I am thankful that I am doing what I love."
