Titled 'Happy Birthday to the real Tanvi', Anupam Kher wrote, "The seed of my film Tanvi The Great came from my niece Tanvi! She is one of my most favourite persons in the whole world! Being autistic, she has only goodness in her heart! She otherwise is Smart, very intelligent, funny, completely straightforward and a brilliant singer! Here is wishing her a long, healthy and happy life. Love you the most, Tanvi! You gave me the most amazing gift with the idea for the film."

Respect for Anupam Kher. In a country where we still have a long way to go in understanding and accepting neurodiversity, such films and personal stories are crucial. Wishing Tanvi a year full of joy and music 🎵

The message is beautiful, but I do hope the film itself avoids stereotypes. Sometimes well-intentioned portrayals can unintentionally be patronizing. I haven't seen it yet, so I can't judge, but it's something to be mindful of.

The film combining themes of autism and the Indian Army is such a unique and powerful idea. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳 Getting a standing ovation at the NDA is no small feat. Must watch it soon with my family.
