Actor Anupam Kher's latest film, 'Tanvi the Great', has struck a chord with audiences. The movie, which premiered at the 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa, was inspired by Kher's niece Tanvi, who faces unique challenges as an autistic individual. The story follows Tanvi's determination to pursue her late father's dream of saluting the flag at Siachen Glacier, despite the obstacles she encounters. According to Kher, the film is a celebration of goodness and music, highlighting the importance of embracing what makes us different. He drew inspiration from a personal experience with Tanvi, who at a family wedding, gazed out the window and said, 'I'm looking at my world.' This moment sparked a realization in Kher that he didn't truly understand Tanvi's perspective. As a seasoned actor, Kher emphasizes the significance of cinema going beyond commerce. While acknowledging the industry's reliance on production houses generating profits, he believes that making movies solely for financial gain is not the primary goal. Instead, Kher advocates for passion and storytelling that resonates with audiences. Kher also expressed his gratitude to Doordarshan, which has played a pivotal role in introducing him to the world of cinema. He credits the organization for its long-standing commitment to providing quality content and its lasting impact on his life. The 56th International Film Festival of India, running from November 20th to 28th, features a diverse selection of 240 films from 81 countries, offering a platform for artists to share their stories and connect with global audiences.
