Boman Irani’s first look from Anupam Kher’s directorial Tanvi The Great was unveiled by the makers on Tuesday.
Anupam shared Boman’s look from the film on his Instagram account. The actor can be seen sporting long hair with spectacles. Boman will be playing the role of a musical genius, Raza Saab, in the film.
Talking about the role, Boman said, "The very concept of Tanvi The Great moved me to tears. I had decided to be part of the film in any form. The form came in the shape of the innocence of Raza Saab, an unknown musical genius. I am proud to be part of this timely film, apart from the fact that my friend Anupam would have it no other way."
In the caption of his Insta post, Anupam praised Boman’s acting prowess and wrote, “Boman Irani is not only a PHENOMENAL actor but also a wonderful human being. Having a friend like him on the sets is an asset for life. When I narrated him just the idea of Tanvi The Great he immediately said he will be part of our film. His presence and performance in the film is towering! His appreciating nod after every shot meant the world to me! Thank you my dearest Boman for making #RazaSaab so endearingly humane, vulnerable and extremely lovable.”
Anupam recently introduced Shubhangi, an actor from his acting school ‘Actor Prepares’, as the lead of Tanvi The Great. The film also stars Game of Thrones actor Iain Glen.
Tanvi The Great marks Anupam’s second film as a director after the 2002 film, Om Jai Jagadish.
The film is based on a story by Anupam, who has also written the screenplay with Ankur Suman and Abhishek Dixit. It features music by MM Keeravani and lyrics by Kausar Munir. The film is produced by Anupam Kher Studio along with the National Film Development Corporation in association with Lower Middle-Class Corporation.
