Different, but no less: A tale of autism, family and ambition

It is only an artiste who creates his work through a life experience. Anupam Kher's recently released film Tanvi The Great, that he has co written, produced, directed and acted in, (He has also written his next book Different But No Less based on the making of the film), is inspired by his niece Tanvi, who is in the autistic spectrum. The film's actor Shubhangi Dutt, who plays Tanvi, is a student from his acting school, An Actor Prepares. At a family wedding in Gurugram a few years ago, when the entire Kher clan was dancing, celebrating and having fun, he observed his niece had sauntered off. When he followed her, he caught her immersed, looking at the sky. When asked what she was doing, she said that she was looking at her own world. 'Her words threw me off balance. I realised how much I didn't know her world, ' says Kher. Though he has taught at the Dilkhush Special School and has worked with differently abled children, this thought stayed with him and he decided to make a film around this topic. Kher's first directorial Om Jai Jagadish released in 2002 was a heartwarming story of three brothers in a joint family. Kher had decided then that his second film would have a relevant message combining a cause, family bonds and the love for the nation. 'This film that has actor Pallavi Joshi playing Tanvi's mom, focuses on family bonds, though the main character is autistic,' says Kher. 'For them, we are the odd ones out and not the other way around. Look at most of us - we have become manipulative and mean as a society. In the film industry like everywhere else, you are constantly told how someone else is better than you and you have to keep doing something to be in the news.' Adds Kher, 'I find differently abled people kinder, more compassionate and filled with innocence, a quality that we have lost completely. I think people with the autism spectrum are far more intelligent and better human beings than us and I wanted to bring out that super power' he adds. So, along with his writers Abhishek Dixit and Ankur Suman, he set out to write the story - the story of a girl in the autistic spectrum who wants to join the Indian Army. The Indian Army incidentally, doesn't have recruits from the spectrum. Kher plays her grandfather in the film, someone who is bitter due to the loss of his wife and young son who is martyred. A far cry from Kher's own grandpa who was full of life. He recollects a time in childhood when he asked his granddad how the entire joint family was so happy even if they were poor. ' He had said that, for people who are poor, the cheapest luxury is to be happy and we need to celebrate happiness." Eminent Hollywood actor Robert De Niro attended the film's premiere and Ms Draupadi Murmu, the President of India, sat through the film at a special screening at her official residence, the Rashtrapati Bhavan, lauding the performance. 'We got a standing ovation at the Cannes Film Festival as well as in London. Perhaps, people identified with the goodness the film radiates,' says Kher. During the making of the film, the crew was instructed to be calm - as in speak to each other politely and kindly, to create an aura of goodness. ' No harsh words were used or hurried activity that made people impatient and scream. It worked.' So how did the real Tanvi react to the onscreen Tanvi. ' My niece came to the screening. She sang a song too. Usually when you want to hug her, you have to ask for her permission. And she sang Lag Ja Gale … and made us all emotional.' The film was also shown to the Chief of Army and other soldiers and they all admitted that it made them cry. ' For me, that is heartening,' he says. While making the film, Kher decided to write the book. I decided to call it Different But No Less, which is a tagline of the film Tanvi The Great. 'The book is not about storms but about sailing through them, not letting anyone else get affected by your predicament but putting your own faith out there and following the greatest GPS God has gifted us - our heart.' All actors went through workshops conducted by Kher to sensitize them to autism. 'The film is not a blockbuster but it has succeeded in touching hearts. After 40 years of Saaransh (Kher's debut film), I'm getting the same kind of love in this film,' says Kher. 'Thankfully actors survive the long haul, unlike stars.' We agree!

Mohanlal was the impetus behind 'Drishyam 3', says Jeethu Joseph

Director Jeethu Joseph, who delivered the blockbusters Drishyam and Drishyam 2, catapulting its protagonist Georgekutty into India's popular culture, revealed that the draft of the third instalment of the series, Drishyam 3, is ready. And it was actor Mohanlal — whose steely portrayal of a father ready to shield his family from adversaries won laurels — who prompted him to write Drishyam 3. Joseph, while recently speaking at the inaugural of a film and drama club at Nirmala College in Muvattupuzha in Kerala, said that he was under immense pressure while writing the draft. 'When I finished (writing), I felt relief,' he said in a video of the event. The director is juggling multiple projects, including the shoots for the Malayalam thrillers Mirage, which stars Asif Ali and Aparna Balamurali in the lead; and Valathu Vashathe Kallan, with Biju Menon and Joju George. Joseph revealed that his day would begin early by around 3.30 AM, as he would write for Drishyam 3 in between. 'It was a struggle; mentally and physically I was tired,' he said. 'But now it is a great feeling.' In an interview with Mathrubhumi, Joseph said that the impetus for the third instalment came from Mohanlal, soon after Drishyam 2 (2021). 'Though I was not sure about what to say at that time, I told him that if we ever went for another sequel, I wish for the climax to be crafted in a particular way. I shared my thoughts with him,' Joseph was quoted as saying by the publication. "At that time I had said that if Georgekutty returns once again, the climax of the movie will be in a particular way." ' Lalettan (or how Mohanlal is popularly referred to in Kerala) liked it and asked me to have a try... and if it comes right, let's move ahead with the story,' Joseph was quoted as saying by Mathrubhumi. "It was the climax of Drishyam 3 that first came to my mind." Drishyam 3 will begin filming in September and is being produced by Aashirvaad Cinemas, a banner that has been traditionally associated with movies involving Mohanlal. The first two films of the franchise received wide critical acclaim and became massive hits at the box office, spawning massive interest and remakes in multiple Indian languages. Apart from Drishyam 3, Mirage and Valathu Vashathe Kallan, Joseph told Mathrubhumi he has a legal drama with Fahadh Faasil lined up for 2025.

Too Cute to Eat? 10 Aesthetic Filipino Kakanin You'll Want to Post First

Living in the fast-paced city means you crave content that's fresh, fun, and shareable. Enter aesthetic Filipino kakanin —those gorgeous rice cakes that look like they belong on an IG feed. Think glossy latik, pastels, layered colors, and coconut textures. In this article, we're diving into 10 standout kakanin you'll actually want to eat and post, plus tips on where to get them, how to style your shots, and even quick DIY hacks. Ready to level up your feed and impress your followers with seriously cute (and delicious) rice cake content? Let's go. What Makes Kakanin Aesthetic in 2025 Kakanin naturally nails the Instagram look due to its vibrant colors, textural contrast, and traditional plating on banana leaves or bilao trays. With food aesthetics dominating social platforms, these rice treats shine—not just for their flavor, but for how visually engaging they are. Add in glossy coconut curds, soft pastel layers, and unique shapes, and you've got viral-ready bites. Their cultural roots give your post depth—folklore, family recipes, and festival memories. That's next-level content. Meet the Star Kakanins Biko – glossy sticky rice with latik A classic: sweet, chewy, topped with caramelized latik. That shine and texture = totally binge-worthy visuals. Sapin-Sapin – pastel rainbow layers Vibrant hues and creamy coconut sprinkles create crisp, Instagram-perfect shots. Puto – soft pastel rice muffins Mini and pastel—simple, minimalist, and aesthetically pleasing in any flat lay. Palitaw – snowy discs rolled in coconut White discs with coconut flake edges look clean and textured—great for close-ups. Kutsinta – chewy brown sugar rice cake Earthy brown tones and coconut topping give visually rich contrasts. Maja Blanca – creamy coconut pudding blocks Soft, milky cubes with corn kernels – neutral tones that pop in moody feeds. Pichi-Pichi – green cassava balls coated in coconut Pandan green, fuzzy texture—playful and unique shots. Mache – stuffed buko pandan rice balls with sesame Round and filled—schematic symmetry plus sprinkle of sesame seeds = strong visuals. Morón – chocolate suman bundles Chocolate roll aesthetics: dark color, rustic wrap, perfect for moody tones. Ube Bibingka – purple yam mochi cakes Vibrant purple and the soft, chewy look? Instant visual win. Why Millennials & Gen Z Are Hyped about These These aesthetics combine nostalgia, bold visuals, and convenience. Kakanin hits all the key content triggers: colorful, bite-sized, story-worthy. Plus, they tap into Filipino heritage—something young creatives love sharing. Unlike gourmet pastries, kakanin connects emotionally and visually. Its portability (bite-size dumplings, muffin-like puto) works for grab-and-go city life. And because each rice cake has its own backstory (like biko at fiestas, puto for merienda), your caption can give followers a culturally-rich read. That's content gold. Where to Score and Snap Hot Manila kiosks and cafes Look out for heritage stalls, weekend markets (e.g., Salcedo Market), and pop-up spots (like foodbymetro on IG), offering well-styled platters perfect for capturing. DIY styling in your apartment kitchen Use banana leaf, pastel plates, and natural light by a window. DIY, layer, and use props like woven trays, tropical leaves, candles, or baked beans cloth for that laid-back yet curated feed vibe. Kakanin Photography 101 Lighting tricks: Natural daylight near a window gives soft, flattering vibes. Avoid overhead flash. Props & styling: Banana leaves, wooden boards, pastel ceramic, vintage spoons, and cloth backdrops create texture-rich images. Angles: Top-down for flat lays, 45° rigs for layers, close-ups to show coconut flake detail or latik gloss. DIY Aesthetic Kakanin at Home Quick recipe for Biko Use sticky rice cooked with coconut milk, sugar, and finish with latik. Cook in a square pan for straight edges—great for slicing and styling. Speedy Sapin-Sapin jars Layer glutinous rice, coconut milk, and natural pastel food colors in glass jars—easy, customizable, and ideal for colorful shots. Cultural Context That Adds Story Each kakanin carries regional and seasonal meanings—like bibingka for Christmas, puto bumbong after midnight mass, or suman at fiesta. Mention that in captions to add emotional flavor and heritage value. This layered approach deepens engagement and tells why it matters beyond looking cute.
