In a landmark move for Indian cinema, Tanvi The Great—the highly anticipated directorial venture of veteran actor Anupam Kher—has secured a powerful global distribution alliance. Excel Entertainment, led by Ritesh Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar, has officially joined hands with AA Films to distribute the film worldwide. After receiving thunderous applause at both the Cannes Film Festival and the New York Indian Film Festival, the stage is now set for a global release on 18 July 2025.
The film boasts an impressive cast that spans continents and generations. From Game of Thrones star Iain Glen to Bollywood stalwarts like Jackie Shroff, Boman Irani, and Arvind Swami, the ensemble also includes National Award-winning actress Pallavi Joshi, the ever-versatile Nasser, and Karan Tacker. Making her debut is Shubhangi, whose performance, sources say, is one to watch. Anupam Kher himself appears in a key role, adding another layer of authenticity to his own vision.
Musically, Tanvi The Great carries global appeal, with a score composed by M.M. Keeravani—renowned for his Oscar and Golden Globe-winning work in RRR. The film is produced by Anupam Kher Studio in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC), a blend that suggests a commitment to both artistic integrity and broad accessibility.
With Excel Entertainment’s global distribution muscle and AA Films’ expertise in reaching diverse markets, Tanvi The Great is poised to transcend borders. It’s not just another film release—it’s shaping up to be a cultural moment, bridging cinematic traditions from East to West. Come July 18, all eyes will be on Tanvi—and the vision behind her story.
