Just when the excitement around Anupam Kher’s directorial debut Tanvi The Great couldn’t get any bigger, in walks Boman Irani — suave, soulful, and now, musical. The veteran actor has officially joined the cast as Raza Saab, a musical maestro whose presence promises to hit all the right notes, both in melody and emotion.
Announced with warmth and flair on Instagram, Kher shared a heartwarming tribute to his longtime friend and now castmate. “Boman Irani is not just a phenomenal actor, he’s a phenomenal human,” Kher wrote, gushing over Irani’s immediate “yes” to the project and his magical presence on set. According to Kher, every approving nod from Boman behind the scenes felt like winning an Oscar — no small praise coming from a man working alongside one.
Tanvi The Great is already tuning up for a grand symphony — it’s set to premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival's Marché du Film, and it features a soulful score by none other than Oscar-winning composer M.M. Keeravani (yes, that Keeravani). With Shubhangi Dutt making her debut and the film backed by Anupam Kher Studios, NFDC, and the quirkily named Lower Middle Class Corporation, this isn’t just a movie — it’s a movement.
Between a powerhouse cast, a Cannes debut, and a soundtrack that’s likely to stay in your head long after the credits roll, Tanvi The Great is shaping up to be something truly special. And with Boman Irani now playing the soulful, vulnerable, and deeply lovable Raza Saab, it’s safe to say — this film just found its rhythm.
