Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 18 (ANI): Legendary actor Anupam Kher is gearing up for the release of his directorial 'Tanvi The Great'.
On Wednesday, he unveiled a new poster of the film that showcases looks of the characters portrayed by Boman Irani, Pallavi Joshi, Jackie Shroff, Iain Glen, and debutante Shubhangi.
'This poster is more than a collage of stars. It is a canvas of stories, all revolving around one young girl who defies labels, limits, and every easy definition of greatness. In a world that tries to fit her into a box, she dares to colour outside the lines. She is #TanviTheGreat who is coming to meet you in cinemas on the 18th of July, one month to go,' Kher wrote.

The film was recently screened at the Cannes Film Festival 2025.
The cast behind Tanvi The Great -- including Anupam Kher, Boman Irani, Pallavi Joshi, and debutant Shubhangi Dutt -- spoke to ANI about the emotional journey of the film and the response it received at Cannes.'I am not traditionally a director, but primarily an actor, but the story inspired me. When it reaches the heart of the people, it's really gratifying. The kind of comments we got in Cannes and in London are fantastic. I wanted to make a film from India for the world, and I think that I have sort of managed to achieve it,' Kher said.
'It was a very emotional moment for us because, one, Mr. Kher is directing after two decades. And, of course, every director takes their film to Cannes, but when an actor-director takes it to Cannes, to a festival like this, it means a lot,' Pallavi added.
Actor Boman Irani, who also stars in the film, spoke about the importance of Indian stories finding international platforms. 'We need that nourishment of entertainment that we have grown up with over the decades, and why should we abandon that? However, there are certain kinds of films, certain tonalities, that are required, which I think should be aimed at the international market, so that we have a spotlight pointing towards our country...' he added.
The film's young lead, Shubhangi, shared how overwhelming the entire experience has been for her. From the Cannes premiere to a recent screening in London, she's still processing it all.
'It feels very overwhelming right now. Even after the Cannes screening, I was still processing it all. Yesterday, we had a London screening, and I'm still processing it because I'm living every moment of it... For a movie like this, I don't think I could have asked for anything more. It's a new life.'
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 fulfill this mission, according to Variety. (ANI)

Panchayat Season 4: Chandan Roy teases a twist, says 'Small things are blown out of proportion'
With the release of Season 4 of the much-loved comedy-drama series ' Panchayat ' just days away, actor Chandan Roy, who plays Vikas Shukla, has offered fans a glimpse into what they can expect from the new season, which premieres on Prime Video on June 24. In a candid interview with ANI , actor Chandan Roy said the upcoming season is his personal favourite and offered a glimpse into the elements that will define the new storyline.' So, it's coming on the 24th. I think it will come till the night of the 23rd. So, just watch, and you'll know what's going to happen and what's not. But yes, I want to share one thing with all of you. Season 4… Personally, it's my favourite. More than Season 1, 2, and 3. I'm not saying this just because I want you to watch it. I'm genuinely saying it,' he said. The actor didn't hesitate to drop hints about what sets the upcoming season apart.' There's a twist. I mean, the nature of Panchayat, its essence, is that this time we're playing around a lot more. We're blowing small things out of proportion, and this is something that happens a lot, especially in North India. Under the peepal tree, near the betel leaf shop, by the tea stall. We're bringing all these elements much more into season 4. So, I hope you will really enjoy it,' he added. For fans of the show, this could mean a return to the quintessential charm of rural India, where the everyday drama unfolds under the shade of trees, at tea stalls, or during community gossip. Season 3 of 'Panchayat' concluded on a tense cliffhanger, and the stakes were raised considerably. The series had built up to a shocking confrontation between the villagers of Phulera and the goons of MLA Chandrakishore. The escalating tension between the two sides culminated in a violent face-off, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting cliffhanger featured an attack on the local leadership, with Pradhanji sustaining a gunshot wound to the shoulder, while Abhishek's preparations for the CAT examination were disrupted by the ensuing violence. The key questions that remained unanswered at the end of Season 3 included: 'Who shot Pradhanji? 'Was it the MLA or someone else? 'Will Abhishek clear his CAT exam and be admitted to IIM?' What will be the outcome of the Panchayat elections? 'Will peace return to Phulera, or will the violence escalate further?' These questions continue to dominate the minds of fans as they await the release of Season 4. Season 4 promises to pick up right from where season 3 left off, delving into the aftermath of the political violence and the unresolved questions surrounding the Panchayat elections. If the teaser trailer is anything to go by, Phulera appears to have turned into a political battleground, with campaign slogans, fiery rallies, and underhanded tactics. The contest for the Pradhan's seat intensifies between Manju Devi and Kranti Devi. The upcoming season will see the return of Jitendra Kumar as Sachiv Ji, alongside Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Faisal Malik, Chandan Roy, Sanvikaa, Durgesh Kumar, Sunita Rajwar, and Pankaj Jha–each contributing to the growing political tension in Phulera. Created by Deepak Kumar Mishra and Chandan Kumar, and directed by Mishra along with Akshat Vijaywargiya, the new season promises to bring back the show's signature blend of satire, warmth, and rustic charm.

(Image Credits: Pinterest) The glamorous world of Bollywood is filled with grand sets, starry songs, and bold dialogues that often leave an impression on the audience. However, some songs, films, and stories stay with us because of the grandeur and creativity that flow from the creation of the range of costumes. There is one director in this glamorous chaos who has understood the game of costumes and has stood out from the crowd with his stunning sets and even more iconic range of costumes that have remained with the fans decades after the film's release. Whether it's the tragic decadence of 'Devdas' or the haunting 90s charm of 'Guzaarish', Sanjay Leela Bhansali's costume designs remain one of Indian cinema's most unforgettable visual legacies. (Image Credits: Pinterest) Allowing the character to unveil itself with his layered fashion richness, we all fell in love at first sight of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as Paro in his 'Devdas'. The grandeur of the era and the emotional weight of each character's arc were felt by the audience. And, as this great tragedy unwrapped itself on the screen, the main ending climax left us all ruined. Did you know Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's wedding sari had real gold thread work with Swarovski crystal? Here is how much it costed! Amidst all the emotional chaos, no one can forget the iconic 'Laal paar sada saree' worn by Aishwarya in the final scene of the film. Traditionally worn in the Bengali culture, this white saree with a red border featured an extravagant pallu, which created an unforgettable moment on screen. However, do you know that this dramatic saree was created by fashion designer Neeta Lulla overnight at the sudden request of Sanjay Leela Bhansali? (Image Credits: Pinterest) In a recent interview, Neeta Lulla looked back at the experience of working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali on 'Devdas' and recalled the unexpected work pressure, which paid off well in the end. She revealed that the director asked for a sudden change in the outfit just hours before the final cut. Thus, she had to quickly source out a 13-metre-long saree overnight, which was made possible by her team and her fabric vendor, who opened the shop till 11 PM for her. This single moment is proof of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's visionary prowess, which made the scene look emotional, grand, curious, and a complete roller coaster ride for the audience. In the film's climax, Paro, aka Aishwarya Rai, runs through the corridors of her house to see her lover Dev Babu, aka Shah Rukh Khan, one last time.
