Mumbai, July 1, 2025 (ANI): On the upcoming movie 'Tanvi The Great', the cast shared their experiences. The film gives you a positive message with a smile on your faces. Actor Anupam Kher, Subhangi Dutt, Jackie Shroff, and Music Director MM Keeravani had a beautiful conversation with ANI.Anupam Kher (Actor), Subhangi Dutt (Actress), Jackie Shroff (Actor) & MM Keeravani (Music Director) On Upcoming Film ‘Tanvi: The Great’
02:31But that is the reason, but the response from the outside is that the problem is universal.
02:46I always say that this is a film from India for the world.
02:50And Jackie Sahib said a very good thing about awareness. Awareness can increase from these films.
02:57We don't want to do bad things in society.
03:01I think that no one is bad from inside.
03:05But you need to tap the goodness in every human being.
03:08But we got amazing response in Cannes, in London, in New York, Houston, Austin.
03:14Because we all see the importance and the goodness of goodness in it, basically.
03:22When Anupam sir called me remotely, when I was traveling in Kerala somewhere,
03:31he briefed me with the line for eight to ten minutes.
03:36Then it instantly, the line stole my heart.
03:41Then I said, Sir, I'll be honored to compose music for this movie.
03:47Ever since our journey had started,
03:51and few months back when I happened to monitor the uncut version of Tanmi the Great,
04:00it would be a little more than four hours.
04:04Now, that's not the final edit, but just the raw edit.
04:11I was blessed to watch the full version.
04:16And after completing the movie, I told Anupam sir that,
04:22Sir, normally we cry in movies.
04:25The tears keep rolling on your cheeks.
04:31It did not happen in this.
04:33Instead, all the four of us, almost all the four of us duration,
04:38my eyes were about to, I mean, generate tears.
04:44That means, my eyes were constantly wet.
04:47That's what I call feel-good movie.
04:50So, at two, three points, the tears will roll.
04:55There are some crucial points in the movie.
04:58But for that, the entire movie, your eyes are constantly wet.
05:03So, I need to constantly, I mean, keep doing this,
05:08which is a good feeling.
05:10That was my initial response.
05:12Then I said, Sir, this film doesn't need music only.
05:16Very few films are like that.
05:19Just without music, you release the double positive,
05:25what you call like, you used to call double positive.
05:29Just the raw edit you release, even without dubbing also.
05:35You made it sing sound, Sir?
05:38Yes.
05:39Completely, completely or at some...
05:40Completely.
05:41So, even if you release the movie just like that, it will be...
05:46It will steal the hearts of people.
05:49That's...
05:50That was my response.
05:51And I had the privilege of composing background score also,
05:54apart from the nine songs in the movie.
05:56It was a great experience, Sir.
05:58And so, De Niro came for the New York premiere,
06:01and he had said that he will come here only for fifteen...
06:04Because he had an engagement, he had to go somewhere.
06:07Then he stayed back till the...
06:09Till the interval point.
06:11One of the things he constantly kept saying,
06:14the music is fantastic.
06:15Music is amazing.
06:17So, that's what I said again about universal appeal of the film.
06:23So, I think I immediately called him up from New York,
06:27because I thought he will...
06:29I am sitting next to him, he will say something about me.
06:33But he appreciated the whole film, but music he pointed out, especially.
06:38I feel every emotion that I have always longed to feel.
06:47And sitting here, amongst the best of the best,
06:52I am counting my stars for so many things at this point.
06:57For getting this opportunity, for doing a movie like this.
07:01Like this has opened my eyes in so many ways,
07:04and because I was also living the character,
07:07it has transformed me, it has changed me as a person.
07:10And being in Chhatra Chhaya of Anupam, Sir.
07:13I think I must have...
07:15My mom always tells me,
07:17you must have done some great deeds in your past life,
07:19that you got this chance, you got this break,
07:22and you got to be directed by one of the best.
07:25And I agree to that.
07:26I don't think so.
07:28You know, I know that even destiny and all,
07:31it plays a very important role.
07:33And I used to get very angry back in the day,
07:36that it's not happening, it's not working out,
07:38because I have been trying since the last 10-12 years.
07:41I used to bunk my school, tuition...
07:42When I was 13 years old, they auditioned.
07:44So, I'm just like, it's not happening.
07:46And I used to get frustrated and my family also was like,
07:48okay, keep it in shock, don't make it your life,
07:52don't make it your everything.
07:53And where I come from, it makes sense.
07:56I think that they guided me in the best ways possible.
08:00But I believe so much in God's plan,
08:03that I think more than our plans, more than my plans,
08:06I think God believed in me.
08:08And today I believe that, yes,
08:10that I think it's all destiny, it's all hard work,
08:13and it's all greatness of the people that I'm surrounded with.
08:17And it's all Anupam sir, actor prepares, I'm sitting here.
08:20And just working with so many people,
08:23M.M. sir, Jackie sir,
08:25and I'm missing even Baman sir, Erwin sir, so many people.
08:28But I'm just so grateful.
08:30I'm so grateful.
08:31I didn't know actually, because we've all grown up watching the typical Bollywood movies,
08:40hero heroine, gaane, saadi ud rahi hai, and all of that.
08:43And I think that's what Bollywood is for a lot of people.
08:47Like that's how they perceive Bollywood as.
08:49So something like this, and I think in today's time, I think,
08:52I'm telling you, I count my stars not just for giving me this opportunity,
08:55but for giving me this opportunity for a movie like this.
08:58I think I couldn't have wanted any other way.
09:02I'm just like, I'm just like,
09:05I think that in the next ten years,
09:07I'll do all the movies.
09:09I think this will always be like,
09:11I don't think so anything can match to Tanvi Diva.
09:13I think the thought of where I come from,
09:15I think the person that I am,
09:17my upbringing,
09:19and the way I have been brought up,
09:21and I have dreamt of everything,
09:23I think that will always keep me grounded and true to myself.
09:26And I also feel very comfortable in just being myself,
09:29and being like where I come from.
09:31So I take a lot of pride in that for coming so far.
09:34And I think that is the thing that got me here.
09:36So I want that thing to always be instilled,
09:38so that I can go very far in life.
09:40And,
09:41My guru,
09:42My sir,
09:43He will never let it happen.
09:45Ketha,
09:46I have a very interesting thing to ask you.
09:48When you have cast in the film,
09:50you have taken a lot of attention,
09:51you have taken a lot of attention,
09:52you have taken a lot of attention,
09:53you have taken a lot of attention,
09:55you have taken a lot of attention,
09:56as a director,
09:57how do you control this time?
09:58Improvisation of the time?
10:00Because the story is about the development of the story.
10:03And the rest of the characters,
10:05if someone has to talk about their acting,
10:09it will be very uncomfortable.
10:10I also wanted people,
10:12whose heart has been mixed with me,
10:14so many years.
10:15You will see many people,
10:17like Jackie,
10:18Baman,
10:19Arvin Ji,
10:20who was an outsider,
10:22who was Ian Glenn,
10:23but we also made him a Hinduist,
10:25when he came here,
10:27shooting for shooting.
10:28There are also,
10:29the question is,
10:32there is a hero,
10:33there is a talent,
10:34there is a talent,
10:35there is a talent,
10:36there is a talent,
10:37there is a talent,
10:38there is a talent,
10:39that I am surrounded by lions,
10:41I feel like a cub.
10:43That is true,
10:45and we have not tried to do such a bad acting,
10:50but what comes across is,
10:52I am shocked,
10:54when I watched a film in Houston,
10:56I am shocked,
10:57I have made a film,
10:59we have shooted it for 63 days,
11:01when I was watching the film,
11:03in Houston,
11:04I actually felt,
11:05that there must be a place like this,
11:07and these people must be really there,
11:09there must be a commander,
11:11there must be a colonel,
11:12you don't get this kind of a feeling,
11:14so I think everybody has,
11:16portrayed the character,
11:18true to themselves,
11:20only Tanvi,
11:22came across as a person,
11:24that who is doing it in different manner,
11:26Arvind Swami ki performance mein,
11:28aapko laga,
11:29he aysa hi hooga,
11:30yaan per a major,
11:31ex-major,
11:32jo academy chalate hain,
11:33ye commander aur,
11:35ex-colonel rayana ki,
11:37dosti aysi hogi,
11:39jo amne udar dekhi hai,
11:40lansdown,
11:41lansdown mein unka uhtna,
11:42baitna,
11:43I think lansdown has played,
11:44a very important character,
11:45in this film,
11:46wo isliye kiunki,
11:47mein jis shahar se aya ta shimla,
11:49jab,
11:50early sixties mein tha,
11:51so aysa hi tha lansdown,
11:53so meri zrayan mein tha ki,
11:54mein jab bhi film bana hun,
11:55aysay loog mein hun,
11:56aysay go,
11:57and,
11:58so it was more of a,
12:00as I said it in the press conference,
12:02it was more of a heart than craft,
12:04because craft,
12:05because craft,
12:06aapke dil ko nahi choo sakta hai,
12:07craft,
12:08aapko impress kar sakta hai,
12:09aysa koji short nahi hai,
12:11jacky ka,

12:26it's,
12:27he doesn't,
12:28it is his belief also as a person,
