\"Anupam Anupam Kher<\/a>, who recently returned to directing after 23 years with Tanvi The Great, is making a comeback, this time as an author. Different But No Less, Anupam’s fourth book, launched in Mumbai on Wednesday. The book follows the creation of Tanvi the Great, a movie that was almost never made.From early rejections to casting stories, the book records the project’s challenges and illuminates the motivation behind Anupam’s decision to base his comeback on the tale of an autistic girl. Anupam stated, “I wrote this film because I needed strength more than money to write it and then make it. That\u2019s how this book came out, and it\u2019s the strongest thing I have done in my life.\u201dA star-studded assembly of friends, coworkers, and collaborators attended the launch event. Filmmaker and longtime mentor Mahesh Bhatt<\/a>, actor Boman Irani<\/a>, who also served as the event’s host, Gajraj Rao, Anang Desai, and director Pankuj Parashar, with whom Anupam collaborated on Chaalbaaz, were among those in presence.Mahesh Bhatt gave an emotional analysis of Anupam’s journey. \u201cOne of the greatest strengths of this kid\u2014I call him a kid because when I met him he was 28, although I was only 34, but still\u2014is his vulnerability,\u201d Bhatt remarked. \u201cI don\u2019t know any other attribute apart from vulnerability when it comes to him. And a person who cannot be vulnerable cannot be courageous. I\u2019m proud that a journey we began all those years back has landed us in this moment. I can wholeheartedly claim, proudly, that I have contributed somewhere in his journey, and I think his flight has just begun.\u201dThe movie, however, encountered challenges at the box office and clashed with Saiyaara, a musical directed by Mohit Suri<\/a>. While discussing the movie’s performance, Boman questioned Anupam about his thoughts on the disappointing box office arrival. \u201cTo everyone present here, if I had to ask you what your top three films of all time are, I’m sure nobody would even remember the box office business they did when they released,” he said unquestionably, as he always does. “What I have achieved with this film, no other person could achieve in a hundred thousand years.\u201d With typical wit, Boman joked that none of the actors, including himself, received compensation for their work on Tanvi the Great because they were only carrying out Anupam’s vision, which was in turn carrying out his heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anupam Kher, who recently returned to directing after 23 years with Tanvi The Great, is making a comeback,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35866,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[9850,26733,353,49,48,26732,75,26734,26731],"class_list":{"0":"post-35865","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-books","8":"tag-anupam-kher","9":"tag-autism-awareness","10":"tag-books","11":"tag-ca","12":"tag-canada","13":"tag-different-but-no-less","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-mahesh-bhatt","16":"tag-tanvi-the-great"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35865\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35866"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=35865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=35865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
