Ever since the first announcement of Tanvi The Great, the identity of the lead actress had been kept under wraps. In a grand reveal, producer and director Anupam Kher introduced Shubhangi as the film’s leading lady, with superstar Kajol unveiling the future actress of Indian cinema and offering her love and best wishes.
The introductory Teaser of ‘Meet Tanvi’ has also been released,
showcasing Shubhangi as Tanvi. She appears fresh and striking, with an on-screen presence that is both calming and powerful. The teaser takes us into the world of the film which showcases Tanvi as different but no less.
The debutant, Shubhangi was selected from Anupam Kher’s renowned acting school, Actor Prepares, where she has trained extensively over the years.
Speaking about the casting, Anupam Kher said, “When it came to casting Tanvi, I was determined to discover a fresh face and select a talent from my institute, Actor Prepares, in order to offer a newcomer this opportunity. Shubhangi, was the chosen one who is an exceptionally bright talent. She has given her all to portray Tanvi — a story very close to my heart. I hope audiences embrace her with the love and encouragement she truly deserves. I cannot wait for the world to witness the magic she has brought to Tanvi The Great. I am deeply grateful to Kajol for her support and for giving Shubhangi so much love on this important occasion.”
Reflecting on her debut, Shubhangi shared, “I am immensely grateful to Anupam Kher Sir and Actor Prepares for giving me this opportunity to be the face of such a special film. My joy had no limits when I got to know I will be playing the role of Tanvi. Embodying the character of Tanvi has been an overwhelming yet an enriching experience. Working alongside so many legends in the film has strengthened my foundation, and I am determined to continue working even harder.”
Tanvi The Great is one of the first few films to introduce its technicians and behind-the-scenes team before unveiling its lead actress. The film is set to have its world premiere at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, within the Marché du Film.
