Anupam Kher, Jackie Shroff, Pallavi Joshi, Arvind Swami, Karan Tacker, M M Keeravani, debutant Shubhangi and many others attended the trailer launch of Kher’s directorial venture Tanvi The Great at a multiplex in Mumbai. Anupam opened up on how he got the idea to make a film on an autistic character and also shared interesting trivia.

After Aamir Khan’s Sitaare Zameen Par, now Anupam Kher’s Tanvi The Great to also release theatrically without OTT deal; Kher also reveals at trailer launch, “My financier pulled out a month before the film was to go on floors”

Anupam Kher said, “4 years ago, I was in Gurgaon attending the wedding of my brother Raju’s daughter, Vrinda. Everybody was dancing and having fun. My 13-year-old niece, Tanvi, who’s now 17 and is autistic, was standing at the corner and looking at the mountains. I asked her, ‘Tanvi, what are you looking at?’ She replied, ‘I am looking at my world’. That statement shook me a little as she could not explain what her world was. I also could not understand what her world is. That gave me the germ of the film.”

He revealed, “An incident happened. My financier pulled out of the project a month before the film was to go on floors. But all my actors said, ‘Jab paise honge tab de dena, kya fark padta hai’! That is so heartening for a director-producer who is just trying to tell a story which is personal to me.”

Anupam Kher further said, “Anil Thadani had a valid point of view that I had made a very long film. That’s also the reason we have not decided yet on the OTT platform. We want the audience to first come to cinemas. That’s why I hope that people here (the media) will spread the word and the audience will then eventually come in. This is also the reason we first showed the film abroad. Jab wahaan se taareef milti hai, toh yahaan ke log zyada impress hote hai!”

This is the second significant film in recent times whose OTT rights haven’t been sold, the first one being Aamir Khan-starrer Sitaare Zameen Par. Incidentally, both films deal with autism.

Tanvi The Great releases in cinemas on July 18.
