There’s a buzz in Bollywood as the respected and seasoned actor Anupam Kher gears up for his latest directorial endeavour, ‘Tanvi The Great’ – made even more notable by the addition of the Oscar-winning music director MM Keeravani to the project’s creative ensemble. Anupam Kher, a prominent figure in Indian cinema, delightedly announced on Instagram this Monday that Keeravani, a legend in the realm of music composition, will be scoring the film.
In his statement, Kher expressed his excitement, “I am thrilled to be a part of ‘Tanvi The Great’. Collaborating with Anupam Kher is like being yourself all the time. Work was never this much fun before.” Fans and cinephiles alike are attentive to this update, especially considering Keeravani’s recent triumph at the Oscars and Golden Globes, where he won for his song ‘Naatu Naatu’. Attached to the announcement, Kher tweeted, “ALL DREAMS COME TRUE: Proud to announce that one of the finest music composers of our times #Oscar and #GoldenGlobe winner @mmkeeravaani sir is the music director of my directorial film #TanviTheGreat! I have been a fan of #Keeravani sir since I heard the song #TumMileDilKhile.”
MM Keeravani, now an international sensation, has numerous prestigious accolades to his name, including the recent Oscars and Golden Globes that have put him in the global spotlight. Melding his musical genius with Kher’s directorial vision is poised to create a memorable cinematic experience for ‘Tanvi The Great’.
Not a newcomer to the director’s chair, Kher made his directorial debut with the 2002 film ‘Om Jai Jagadish’ featuring a star-studded cast comprising Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. Although taking a long hiatus from directing, Kher’s return to this role has been eagerly anticipated by his fans.
On the front of acting, Anupam Kher is prepping for an intriguing role in the upcoming movie ‘Vijay 69’. Under the production banner of YRF Entertainment, Vijay 69 is set to portray the gripping tale of a man in his sixties, portrayed by Kher, who boldly decides to participate in a triathlon contest at the golden age of 69.
The film’s narrative is under the skilled directorial command of Akshay Roy, known for his work on ‘Meri Pyaari Bindu’. Roy’s dynamic portfolio includes stints as an assistant director on celebrated films such as Mira Nair’s ‘The Namesake’, Aamir Khan’s ‘Taare Zameen Par’, and Deepa Mehta’s ‘Water’. The production baton is wielded by Maneesh Sharma, assuring a caliber of cinematic quality that is much anticipated.
Apart from ‘Tanvi The Great’ and ‘Vijay 69’, Anupam Kher has a slew of other projects in the pipeline including ‘Emergency’ and ‘Signature’, rounding out a busy and promising schedule for the veteran actor-director. These projects continue to showcase Kher’s versatility and commitment to crafting stories spanning a broad spectrum of human experience.
Indian cinema, frequently termed as Hindi cinema or more popularly Bollywood, continues to emit a flair for storytelling that not only captivates a domestic audience but increasingly garners international attention and adoration. With stalwarts like Anupam Kher and MM Keeravani at the creative helm, ‘Tanvi The Great’ is set to be yet another exemplary contribution to the rich tapestry of Indian film. As the project moves forward, audiences wait with bated breath for the harmonious confluence of Kher’s narrative art and Keeravani’s musical magic.
