About
Real magic is never planned. It is discovered when you stay open, when you trust, and when you keep going.
In this intimate behind-the-scenes chronicle, acclaimed actor and director Anupam Kher opens the doors to his most personal and ambitious cinematic vision-a project that celebrates courage, hope, and the indomitable human spirit.
From the first spark of inspiration and heartfelt reflections to unexpected challenges, memorable moments, and the way everything came together, this book offers a front-row seat to the making of Tanvi the Great. At its heart is the story of a young autistic girl who refused to be defined by her limitations and showed the world a different kind of brilliance.
All in all, Different, but No Less is more than a film's journey; it is a reminder that true beauty often lies where the world forgets to look. A gold-medallist from the National School of Drama, New Delhi, actor-producer-writer-motivational speaker, Anupam Kher is one of the most prolific actors who has over 530 films (in several languages, both in India and the West), 100 plays and numerous TV shows to his credit. He is a winner of two National awards, eight Filmfare awards and a BAFTA nomination besides been conferred with the Padma Shree and Padma Bhushan by the Government of India for his contribution to cinema. Having started his glorious career with films such as Saaransh and Daddy in India, he has featured in mainstream Hollywood films such as Silver Linings Playbook, Hotel Mumbai, The Big Sick and The Family Man, and has worked with directors such as Ang Lee, David O. Russell, Woody Allen, Gurinder Chadha and Lana and Lilly Wachowski. He is also author of the best-selling book The Best Thing about You Is You! which has been translated in 6 languages and is in its 22nd reprint.
