Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India]: Veteran actor and filmmaker Anupam Kher has unveiled the much-anticipated teaser for his next directorial venture, Tanvi The Great. The brief yet impactful look-reveal was shared on Saturday through his official X (formerly Twitter) account, offering the first glimpse of debutante Shubhangi Dutt in the titular role.
The 15-second teaser introduces Dutt as Tanvi, the heart of what promises to be an emotionally stirring narrative. Selected from Kher’s acting school, Actor Prepares, Shubhangi brings years of training to her debut performance.
“You may meet many, but someone like her? Once in a lifetime. That’s why you’ll always remember #TanviTheGreat,” Kher wrote alongside the teaser release, hinting at a powerful character-driven story.
Adding international appeal, the film also stars Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen and features sound design by Academy Award-winner Resul Pookutty, celebrated for his work on Slumdog Millionaire.
Tanvi The Great will have its world premiere at the prestigious Marche du Film segment of the Cannes Film Festival, signaling global recognition for the project.
This marks Anupam Kher’s return to direction after 23 years. Reflecting on his first directorial, Om Jai Jagdish (2002), Kher recently posted a photo on Instagram donning a director’s t-shirt and shared his renewed passion for storytelling.
“It took me 23 years to wear a #Director t-shirt again! I loved directing the first film, Om Jai Jagdish. The ability I had. I made the film accordingly. But the story of that movie wasn’t mine,” he wrote.
With music composed by Oscar-winning composer MM Keeravani and produced by Anupam Kher Studios in association with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), Tanvi The Great is positioned as a major cinematic venture. The official release date is yet to be announced.
