Now speaking about his equation with Iain Glen, Anupam said he had worked with the actor on the British series Mrs Wilson. He said, “That’s how I approached him, and I loved working with him. He is an amazing theatre actor.”

He added, “He was fascinated by Indian people. He had never seen such kind of hospitality, love, affection and this kind of professionalism as well. Iain was thrilled about the week that he was here. It was his first visit to India, and he said that he will come back again.”

As for Tanvi The Great, Anupam Kher first announced the cast of technicians on board the project before the acting crew and said, “I wanted to acknowledge the contribution of the technicians as they are the backbone of the film. They make it look like the way it looks, and this is what should be done. Our film is a musical and how can I not introduce my music director first? I am fortunate to have (composer) MM Keeravaani on board. And I have two Oscar winners in the film with him and (sound designer) Resul Pookutty. I think it’s important to not just acknowledge but applaud the work done by these people behind the camera.”

In addition to the Game of Thrones actor, Anupam Kher has brought together artists from other parts of the world including Japanese cinematographer Keiko Nakahara. “The film has a universal theme and is made for the world audience,” he announced.
