The actor will make his debut at the iconic Cannes Film Festival with the screening of Tanvi: The Great, directed by veteran actor Anupam Kher. In the film, Karan features in a special appearance as Captain Samar Raina — a powerful part that marks a defining moment in his artistic journey, and a significant step into cinematic storytelling from his acclaimed work in the digital space. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Known for his gripping performances across OTT platforms, Karan has steadily carved a niche for himself as one of the most dynamic and emotionally resonant talents of his generation. His appearance at Cannes marks a milestone — both personal and professional — as he steps into the global spotlight with a role that promises emotional depth and intensity. Tanvi: The Great also marks the directorial return of Anupam Kher after more than two decades. Co-written by Kher alongside Ankur Suman and Abhishek Dixit, the film is produced by Anupam Kher Studio in collaboration with the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) and Lower Middle Class Corporation. Reflecting on this moment, Karan shares, 'I'm honoured to be debuting at Cannes, a festival I've revered throughout my career. To have Tanvi: The Great screen there feels surreal — not just because it's a story that moved me deeply, but because it demanded everything from me emotionally and artistically. I've always believed in the slow burn — in doing work that lasts, that leaves something behind. This screening at Cannes is a culmination of years of quiet hustle, learning, unlearning, and pushing myself to find stories that matter. I feel incredibly grateful to be here, not just as an actor, but as a cinema lover witnessing the world's best come together to celebrate storytelling in its raw form.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD On the work front, Karan has just completed the final leg of filming for Prime Video's much-anticipated thriller series Bhay, with its last schedule wrapped in London. Touted as one of the most challenging roles of his career so far, Bhay is already creating buzz in industry circles as a potential game-changer. With a host of exciting projects across platforms and genres lined up, Karan Tacker is steadily emerging as a name to watch in 2025 and beyond.

Kalki Koechlin on how films like 'Taare Zameen Par' shape awareness
Picture Credit: X Actress Kalki Koechlin stressed that the evolving media landscape has made powerful, nuanced storytelling more accessible to everyone. She feels there's growing space for artistically bold films that can also reach and impact a wide audience. Asked if she feels there's a growing space for films that are both artistically bold and widely accessible, Kalki told IANS: "I think that the media landscape has changed and is constantly changing. "The fact that now anyone in the smallest village can access streaming apps that allow them to experience an amazing range of storytelling. When you think about how powerful storytelling is, consider that every person in any village now knows what dyslexia is because of ' Taare Zameen Par .' Released in 2007, "Taare Zameen Par" is directed by Aamir Khan. It explores the life and imagination of Ishaan, an artistically gifted 8-year-old boy whose poor academic performance leads his parents to send him to a boarding school, where a new art teacher Nikumbh suspects that he is dyslexic and helps him to overcome his reading disorder. Kalki added:"The power of storytelling is so important. I think we've definitely seen a development in the nuances and scripts being produced, but there's always room for improvement." Looking forward, Kalki will next be seen in " Bhay: The Gaurav Tiwari Mystery ," which is said to be based on real events, following the life and findings of the late Gaurav Tiwari, India's most renowned paranormal investigator. The series also stars Karan Tacker, Danish Sood, and Saloni Batra.

Now, in "Bhay," his journey comes to life on screen, as Karan takes on the role, bringing Tiwari's legacy and spine-tingling experiences to the forefront. Kalki made her Hindi film debut as Chanda in the black comedy-drama Dev.D. She subsequently starred in two of the highest-grossing Hindi films Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani. She also starred in and co-wrote the crime thriller That Girl in Yellow Boots. Her success continued with the supernatural thriller Ek Thi Daayan, Gully Boy and Margarita with a Straw.
