While I'm happy for Anupam Kher, I wish more regional cinema actors got this kind of international platform. Our film industry is much more than just Bollywood. That said, the movie does sound interesting!

De Niro getting lifetime achievement award is well deserved! Remember watching Silver Linings Playbook - Kher ji held his own against such legendary actors. Hope Tanvi the Great gets good distribution internationally 🤞

The fashion at Cannes is always so classy! Anupam Kher looking dapper in that tuxedo. Though I must say, wish he'd added some Indian touch to his outfit - maybe a brooch or pocket square with traditional motifs? Just a thought 😊

Interesting to see Karan Tacker making his film debut after TV work. The industry is changing - OTT actors getting big breaks in cinema. Hope this film lives up to the hype with such a mix of talent from different mediums!

Resul Pookutty doing sound design is a big plus! After Slumdog Millionaire, he's shown world-class talent. Hope Tanvi the Great gets the same technical excellence. More Indian films need this level of production quality to compete globally.
