And she said, 'I'm looking at my world'. That was a very heavy statement. I didn't understand what her world was, or maybe she wasn't able to make me understand what she was trying to say. That's how the seed of the story took root," the actor-filmmaker said. About Tanvi The Great The film also has two Oscar winners, the music director MM Keeravani and sound designer Resul Pookutty.

Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She captures the small nuances of her character with such honesty that the performance never feels like acting. There's no overstatement, no attempt to draw attention—and that's exactly why it works. Anupam Kher, as her grandfather, delivers one of his most grounded performances in years. His journey from resistance to recognition is portrayed with emotional precision. Jackie Shroff, though present for a short time, brings empathy to his role. Boman Irani's understated turn as Tanvi's music teacher adds warmth, while Arvind Swamy impresses as the ex-Army man running a training academy, lending credibility and calm to the narrative.'
