Anupam Kher on taking Tanvi The Great to Cannes

Talking about taking Tanvi The Great globally, Anupam Kher shared, “I’ve always wanted to create a film with a universal theme—one that transcends boundaries and connects with hearts everywhere. Tanvi The Great is a story born from deep passion and purpose. It’s a film from our hearts, and I believe it will resonate just as deeply with audiences in Ahmedabad as it will in America. Having Oscar-winner M.M. Keeravani bring this story to life with his musical genius has been a true blessing. His artistry has elevated Tanvi The Great in ways I had only dreamt of. I am truly humbled to present Tanvi The Great, our labour of love to the  world.”
