Veteran actor Anupam Kher is creating waves at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival with the international debut of his much-anticipated directorial, Tanvi The Great. Returning to the director's chair after more than two decades, Kher walked the red carpet in France ahead of the film’s screening on May 17, proudly representing Indian cinema on a global platform.
The actor shared his red carpet moments on Instagram, simply captioning them with, "Red carpet. #CannesFilmFestival #TanviTheGreat," generating excitement among fans and film enthusiasts. His striking presence was matched by growing buzz around his film, which has found a spot in the prestigious Marché du Film section — a marketplace known for celebrating global storytelling and fostering international cinematic collaborations.
Tanvi The Great features a powerhouse cast that blends Indian film legends with global talent. Shubhangi Dutt and Karan Tacker play pivotal roles, with the latter marking his full-fledged big-screen debut after years of acclaim in television and digital content. Accompanying them are acclaimed actors Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, and internationally recognized Game of Thrones star Iain Glen, adding a global flavor to the film’s narrative.
The film follows the emotional and transformative journey of a young woman named Tanvi, whose story unfolds against the backdrop of personal loss, resilience, and empowerment. Though plot specifics remain under wraps, glimpses shared by Kher and the production team hint at an emotionally rich tale told through a compelling cinematic lens.
Adding to the film's grandeur is its musical score, composed by none other than Oscar-winning maestro M.M. Keeravani, known for his work on RRR.
This year’s Cannes lineup has featured a strong Indian presence, and Tanvi The Great stands tall among the notable entries. As Indian cinema continues to expand its influence on the world stage, Kher’s film represents a heartfelt and ambitious addition to that movement.
With its world premiere just hours away, anticipation is high. Anupam Kher’s return as director — supported by a diverse cast and a gripping story — signals a significant moment not just for his career, but for Indian storytelling in the international arena.
