Jackie Shroff and Anupam Kher have teamed up for an upcoming inspiring film, Tanvi: The Great, that talks about an autistic girl’s journey of joining the army. During the recently held trailer launch, Jackie Shroff delved into the film and shared insights about working alongside Anupam Kher. In addition to this, he also shared an anecdote, revealing how he became an addition to the film.
Jackie Shroff shares, “I thank Anupam Kher for casting me in this film. I was teary-eyed when he first called me and played a song. Usually, I don’t cry in front of anyone, but after hearing the song, my eyes were filled with tears. It’s an honour to be on this stage with such a fantastic cast.”
He adds, “Anupam Kher handled everything brilliantly, and I got to learn a lot during the film. He taught me several nuances while filming, so if there’s anybody who wishes to learn acting, they can learn from Anupam Kher. He’s a beautiful actor and director, and has made an absolutely brilliant film. It’s total soul-cleansing.”
In Tanvi: The Great, Jackie Shroff will be seen playing the role of Brigadier Joshi, alongside an impressive cast including Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Karan Tacker, Iain Glen, Pallavi Joshi and Arvind Swamy. Tanvi: The Great was recently shown at the New York Indian Film Festival, and the premiere was also attended by Hollywood legend Robert De Niro. Directed by Anupam Kher, the film is slated to release in theatres on July 18.
