In his caption, Anupam Kher shared that the idea for the film had been brewing for nearly four years. “What started as a vision slowly took shape—through writing, re-writing, endless conversations, and deep reflection," he wrote. Tanvi: The Great, he explained, is more than just a movie—it’s a deeply personal project born from years of dedication and emotional investment.
Kher’s caption also posed a rhetorical question that now lingers in the minds of viewers: “Is she extraordinary? Is she unique? Does she have a superpower? We don’t know. What we know is… Tanvi is different, but no less!"
This emotional framing of the teaser has sparked an outpouring of admiration. Acclaimed filmmaker Ashoke Pandit commented, “Goosebumps. Speechless. It symbolizes victory, belief, confidence, purity, love, goodness, calmness, achievement. All the best, Kher Sahab." Singer Shaan chimed in, calling the teaser “so subtle and yet sublime." Social media platforms lit up with viewers expressing awe and excitement. Comments ranged from “Beautiful teaser, can’t wait!" to “This is as tender as the love with which this film was made."
One fan wrote, “It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a film that feels this fresh and full of heart," while another added, “This is why we need more films from Anupam Kher the director, not just the actor."
Tanvi: The Great stars internationally acclaimed actor Iain Glen—best known for playing Ser Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones—who joins the cast in a major role. The film’s musical soul is shaped by none other than Oscar-winning composer M. M. Keeravani (RRR), raising the anticipation for a powerful, soul-stirring score.
Backed by Anupam Kher Studios and the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), the film is expected to deliver a cinematic experience that blends simplicity with profundity—one that taps into the emotional fabric of everyday life while also exploring larger questions of identity, resilience, and human connection.
While the official release date has yet to be announced, the buzz surrounding the film is undeniable. Many in the industry have lauded Kher for stepping into the directorial space with such a heartfelt concept. For Kher, Tanvi: The Great is not just a film—it’s a reflection of the kind of cinema he believes in: deeply personal, emotionally honest, and rooted in humanity.
