Recalling their first day of filming, Kher shared how Nassar’s reaction upon hearing the full script was deeply emotional. “He had tears in his eyes. I had my character come alive on set,” he wrote. “Thank you, Nasser Sir, for your brilliance, kindness, and an unforgettable performance. Your support to Shubhangi during the shoot meant the world.”

The film boasts a stellar ensemble cast that includes Iain Glen, Boman Irani, Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swami, and Pallavi Joshi, with newcomer Shubhangi playing the titular role. Tanvi The Great is being produced by Kher Studios and NFDC in collaboration with the Lower Middle Class Corporation, with music by Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani.

While the official release date is yet to be announced, expectations for Tanvi The Great are already sky-high, fueled by heartfelt moments and powerful storytelling behind the scenes.
