Anupam Kher introduces Arvind Swami as Major Srinivasan in Tanvi The Great; check poster

On Friday, Kher took to Instagram to reveal the first look of actor Arvind Swami as Major Srinivasan. The poster shows Swami dressed in a striking traditional outfit, with a confident and calm expression.

Along with the poster, the actor added a caption that read, ACTORS of TANVI THE GREAT: "The first time I saw #ArvindSwami in Roja, I was blown away by the young and dynamic actor's performance. Then, of course, I watched him in Bombay. And for me, that was the arrival of a unique actor on the Indian film horizon. Much later, we did a film--Saath Rang Ke Sapne--and that's when I found the most dependable and trustworthy friend for life. So, there was nobody else who came to my mind when I wanted to cast an actor for the role of #MajorSrinivasan in #TanviTheGreat. #MajorSrini, as he's called in the film, is a powerhouse of strength, courage, and bravery. Arvind's performance made me feel proud, just like the INDIAN ARMY makes us all feel--SAFE, SECURE, DIGNIFIED, and PROUD. Thank you, Swami ji (as I call him), for your friendship, faith in me, and your BRILLIANCE. You are not only a great actor but also a great friend. Your character of #MajorSrini will be remembered for years to come. Jai Hind!"
