New Delhi [India], April 3: Veteran actor Anupam Kher is all set to don the director’s hat once again after a gap of 23 years with his upcoming film ‘Tanvi The Great’—a project already generating buzz with the inclusion of internationally acclaimed actor Iain Glen, best known for his role as Ser Jorah Mormont in Game of Thrones.
Kher, fondly dubbed the ‘Marathon Man’ of Indian cinema, shared his excitement over working with Glen, revealing that the actor’s involvement was initially meant to be under wraps. However, plans changed when Glen’s arrival in India was captured by a bystander at the airport.
“If you look at our cast, Iain Glen—who played a significant role in Game of Thrones—is the only one whose name has come out so far,” Kher told ANI. “This happened because someone recorded a video at the airport and followed us to our shooting location. That’s when we had to reveal his involvement.”
The two actors had previously collaborated on the British television series Mrs. Wilson. Kher explained that when casting for the role, he specifically wanted an international face with gravitas.
“Iain Glen’s character in our film is very important, and I wanted a big, talented international actor for the role. When I approached him, he asked for the script. After reading it, he told me he wanted to be part of the film,” Kher shared.
🌟 A Team of Global Talent
‘Tanvi The Great’ is shaping up to be a cinematic venture rich in artistic pedigree. The music for the film will be composed by M.M. Keeravani, the Oscar-winning maestro behind the soundtrack of RRR.
In addition, the film’s soundscape will be helmed by none other than Resul Pookutty, the Academy Award-winning sound designer celebrated for his work on Slumdog Millionaire.
With such a dynamic blend of Indian and international talent, Tanvi The Great promises to be a compelling cinematic experience that bridges storytelling across cultures and geographies.
Anupam Kher’s return to direction, alongside this powerhouse creative team, has set the stage for one of the most anticipated films in the coming year.
