From ‘Tanvi The Great’ to ‘The Bengal Files’
On the professional front, Anupam Kher was last seen in 'Tanvi The Great' which is a touching story about a 21-year-old woman on the autism spectrum who dreams of joining the Indian Army to fulfill her late father’s wish.
ETimes gave the film a rating of 4 stars and an excerpt from our review reads, "Ultimately, ‘Tanvi: The Great’ is less about autism or the army and more about human connection—how understanding can grow in silence, how dreams can be nurtured by love, and how change often begins with one person choosing to listen.
It’s a rare drama that sidesteps melodrama and chooses subtlety."His upcoming film is Vivek Agnihotri’s 'The Bengal Files', where he will portray Mahatma Gandhi. Sharing his first look on Instagram, Kher wrote: “Some roles change your thoughts, your habits, your inner self. Playing #GandhiJi is one such role. Sharing it with you all for the first time my character from @vivekagnihotri's #TheBengalFiles! No prosthetics was used here! Jai Hind (sic)!”
