Anupam Kher offers prayers at the Siddhivinayak temple on Hanuman Jayanti

Mumbai, April 12 (IANS) Actor Anupam Kher offered prayers at the Siddhivinayak temple on the auspicious occasion of Hanuman Jayanti.

Providing the netizens a glimpse into his religious visit, Anupam wrote on IG, "Best wishes to all of you on the occasion of Hanuman Janmotsav! Today specially visited Siddhivinayak temple and prayed to Ganapati Bappa and Bajrang Bali! Worshipped for all of you too!"

The veteran actor also sought blessing from Lord Ganesh and Lord Hanuman for his upcoming directorial venture, "Tanvi The Great". He added, "And offered my film #TanviTheGreat at the feet of the Lord! We have completed our work with great faith and hard work. Now Ganapati ji and Hanuman ji will bless us! Hail Lord Ganesh! Hail Bajrang Bali! #HanumanJayanti."

The National Film Development Corporation (NFDC) has come on board as co-producers of "Tanvi The Great".

Shedding light on the collaboration, Anupam said, "Tanvi The Great is a labor of love, crafted with the finest talent in cinema. Having NFDC as a co-producer strengthens our journey in bringing this powerful story to audiences worldwide."

Anupam who plays her grandfather helps her through this journey of resilience,” the source revealed.

The technical crew of the drama further includes National Award-winning choreographer Kruti Mahesh.
