Dubbing career

He is considered to be the official Hindi dub-over voice artist for American actor, Tom Cruise such as his role as Ethan Hunt throughout the Mission Impossible film series and other well known movies that Tom Cruise starred in. He is well known for being the Hindi dubbing voice of Tobey Maguire's role as Peter Parker/Spider-Man in Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy. Also dubbed over Indian actors for Bollywood films such as John Abraham, Dino Morea, Ashmit Patel and Zulfi Syed.[3] Viraj has also been the Hindi voice of the Character Mickey in Mickey Mouse for the past 13 years. Viraj is also the voice of M.S.Dhoni in all of his commercials.[4]

Usually, just about all the roles that he dubs over for films are considered main protagonist roles, but it's rare for him to play supporting protagonist roles. He usually never dubs for any antagonist role, although there are extremely rare exceptions, but it's something that Viraj doesn't dub for, at just about any time.
