Jackie Shroff has shared a heartfelt experience about joining the cast of Tanvi: The Great, an inspiring film directed by Anupam Kher.

At the film's trailer launch, Shroff recounted the emotional moment when Kher first reached out to him.

I was teary-eyed when Anupam called and played me a song from the film. I don’t usually cry, but that moment moved me deeply, he said.
