I have always been a fan of his since the time as a young adult when I watch Saaransh to watching him in DDLJ and to all the fantastic work that he does globally and the representation that he’s commanded over the years! I never thought that it would come with such a beautiful pleasure of being directed by him and to get to play Capt. Samar Pratap Raina, a role I loved.”

Karan has this unique ability to make his performances look effortless but still carry the weightage of a seasoned actor. The role he plays in #TanviTheGreat had these requirements! He carries the Indian Army uniform and the responsibilities that come along with it with finesse, dignity and majestic grace. You will love him in TTG! Thank you Karan for your love, dedication and BRILLIANCE! Happy Birthday once again my friend. Jai Ho and Jai Hind!.”

Army roles need to be portrayed with utmost respect and dignity. From the looks of it, Karan seems to have done his homework well. Hope the film does justice to our bravehearts' sacrifices. The cast is stellar too!

Anupam Kher directing, MM Keeravani's music, and Karan Tacker acting - what a combination! But I hope the story is as strong as the team. Sometimes big names don't guarantee good content. Fingers crossed 🤞

Karan's transformation for this role is impressive! The intensity in his eyes in that poster says it all. Also, nice to see Indian cinema exploring more patriotic themes without being overly jingoistic. Balance is key.

The film's title 'Tanvi The Great' makes me curious - is the story centered around a female character despite Karan playing the army officer? Interesting if they're going for a dual narrative. Hope it's not just a token female lead.

Karan's humility shines through his interviews. His respect for Anupam Kher is so genuine - reminds me of guru-shishya parampara. Wishing the entire team success! Also, happy birthday to this talented actor 🎉
