Veteran Bollywood star Anupam Kher, who has returned to directing with „Tanvi The Great” after over two decades, shared the reason why it took him so long to step behind the camera once again.

Anupam made his directorial debut with the 2002 film Om Jai Jagadish,” a Hindi drama film. It stars Waheeda Rehman, Anil Kapoor, Fardeen Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Mahima Chaudhry, Urmila Matondkar and Tara Sharma.

His upcoming film „Tanvi The Great” marks his return as a director after 23 years.

Asked why it took him so long to make a film, Anupam told IANS: „I didn’t have anything to share with the world before. For me, making a film is about telling something I truly believe in.”

He added that as an actor, he is doing well. In fact, I'm reinventing myself. I've done some amazing work over the past seven or eight years. But as a director, I wanted to tell a story that first resonated with me, and then reflected out into the world.”
