Tanvi The Great, which highlights autism and the Indian Army, has already gained international praise during its festival run in Cannes, New York, Houston, and London. It also received standing ovations at special previews held at the National Defence Academy and Southern Command, Pune.

In a press note, Anupam said he is "deeply honoured" to present the film to the President. “I am deeply honoured to present our film Tanvi The Great to our Honourable President, Smt. Droupadi Murmu. As a film centred on autism and the Indian Army, who better to showcase this film than the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces? As a leader, she embodies resilience, grace, and trailblazing leadership. We are all eagerly looking forward to her experiencing the film,” he said.

Anupam will be joined by debut actor Shubhangi, who plays the title role of Tanvi, along with co-stars Karan Tacker and Boman Irani, and the film's writers and crew.
