On Sunday, the veteran actor took to his Instagram handle and shared a photo of him posing with other writers Ankur Suman and Abhishek Dixit. In the caption, Kher said both Ankur and Abhishek, who hail from the dynamic world of advertising, have proven themselves to be exceptional writers as well. While their careers initially flourished in the fast-paced realm of advertising, their creativity and storytelling skills have seamlessly translated into brilliant writing.

Anupam captioned the post, “ANNOUNCEMENT: It is my honour and privilege to introduce the other two young WRITERS of #TanviTheGreat! I am the third writer of #TTG! Both #AnkurSuman and #AbhishekDixit are primarily from the advertising world! But both are Brilliant writers too! Ankur was introduced to me by my friend #SatishKaushik. He wrote #Kaagaz1 and #Kaagaz2 for him! And Abhishek wrote #SoorajBarjatya’s #Uunchai! #TTG (Tanvi The Great) is a difficult film to write! It didn’t need just excellent writers, but also people with heart.”

“A heart that was larger than life! A heart that could beat for small little joys of life! For small little nuances of life! Writers who had the child, still alive in them. And writers who loved food. It took us more than one year of togetherness to write #TanviTheGreat! It was a journey of discussions, arguments, silences, long walks, travelling to different cities, staying in different hotel rooms, hiking, playing games, singing songs! It was a journey of living life all over again! It was also a journey of lots of laughter and tears! But both Ankur and Abhishek have traveled with me in this remarkable journey. Not only holding my hand. But also my heart and my soul. It is only when you watch #TanviTheGreat in Cinema Halls, you will know what I mean!! Thank you my friends for your love, warmth, kindness, generosity and BRILLIANCE! Jai Ho! #Writers #Love,” the actor added.

On a related note, directed by Anupam Kher, “Tanvi The Great” marks Kher's return to direction, 22 years after his debut film “Om Jai Jagadish.” The first teaser of the film was unveiled in theatres alongside Sunny Deol’s “Jaat.”

While I admire the dedication, I wonder if spending a year on writing is too long for today's fast-paced industry. Hope the final product justifies the time investment.
