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.'
