Earlier, Kher recently opened up about the reaction received by the audience at the Cannes film festival on the world premiere of his 'Tanvi The Great'.
While speaking to ANI, Kher said he was 'overwhelmed' by how deeply the crowd connected with the film.
The actor also shared how people in the theatre clapped, laughed, cried, and stayed back to ask questions after the screening.'I was very overwhelmed by the reaction of people. They were clapping in between because the theme of the film resonated with them. They were crying, laughing at the end of the film. They didn't want to leave. They were asking questions. It's a beautiful feeling.'
When asked what the recognition means to him and his team, especially after the struggles the film faced during its making, Kher said, 'The success of the film on an international platform like Cannes and then in London proves that if you do something with conviction against all odds, it is the most gratifying feeling, and it will reach people's hearts. The film was made with great difficulty because people who were supposed to finance the film backed out at the last minute, but then I said, 'I have to make it because it's my conviction.'
'Tanvi The Great' follows 21-year-old Tanvi Raina, a woman with autism who discovers her late Indian Army officer father's unfulfilled dream--to stand at Siachen, the world's highest battlefield, and salute the Indian flag.
Despite societal pushback and institutional barriers against autistic recruits in the military, she becomes determined to fulfil this mission, according to Variety.
The film stars debutant Subhangi Dutt in the lead role. Karan Tacker, Boman Irani and Anupam Kher also plays a prominent roles in the film. The movie is set to release on July 18. (ANI)

Sardaar Ji 3 gets overwhelming love in Pakistan, Diljit shares audience reactions
Despite being denied a theatrical release in India, Diljit Dosanjh's 'Sardaar Ji 3' is witnessing massive success across the border. The film, which released internationally on June 27, 2025, has gone houseful in cinemas across Pakistan. On Friday, Pakistan-based theatre Cinegold Plex shared a video showing packed shows for the film, and Diljit later reposted a clip from Universal Cinemas highlighting the audience's enthusiastic Dosanjh shared the reel on Instagram, which featured cheering crowds and read, "12 shows on ultra screens. The largest in the country. The overwhelming response from the audience for 'Sardaar Ji 3'. Come and watch!"The horror-comedy's strong opening comes despite the backlash over Diljit's decision to co-star with Pakistani actor Hania Aamir, a casting choice that sparked controversy amid rising India-Pakistan tensions. Watch the video here: The comedy-action film 'Sardaar Ji 3' has reportedly achieved a record-breaking opening in Pakistan, earning an estimated $500,000 on its first day. It now holds the title for the highest-ever opening for an Indian film in Pakistan, surpassing previous records set by Bollywood hits like 'Sultan'.Globally, 'Sardaar Ji 3' ranks as the third-best opening day for a Punjabi film, trailing only 'Jatt & Juliet 3' and 'Carry On Jatta'. Industry experts expect even stronger numbers over the weekend, as the film released on a high-footfall situation between India and Pakistan intensified after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, leading the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) to urge the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to block the film's release in India. Responding to the outcry, the producers opted to release 'Sardaar Ji 3' overseas to BBC Asian Network, Diljit broke his silence on the matter. 'When this film was made, everything was fine. We shot it in February and things were okay back then. After that, a lot of big things happened that were beyond our control. So the producers decided that the film obviously won't be released in India now, so they'll release it overseas. The producers have invested a lot of money, and when the film was being made, nothing like this was happening," he said. He further explained that the producers were aware of the potential financial loss from removing an entire territory like India. At the time he signed the film, everything was normal, but the situation has since changed and is now beyond their control. He added that if the producers chose to release the film internationally, he fully supports their decision.- EndsMust Watch
