Veteran Bollywood actor Anupam Kher’s trusted associate and longtime manager, Herman Dsouza, has stepped into the spotlight with a special appearance in Kher’s recently released directorial film, Tanvi The Great. Known for working tirelessly behind the scenes for nearly two decades, Herman surprised many by appearing on screen as an army officer, marking a unique transition in his career.
Herman, who has been managing Anupam Kher's professional commitments for almost 20 years, expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity. Reflecting on the experience, he said,
"For almost the last 20 years, I have been seeing Anupam sir create magic on screen, but always from behind the lens. But for the first time, I got to live that magic in person as a co-actor in the same frame in Tanvi The Great, and that is a memory I will cherish for my lifetime. The thrill of facing the camera, especially with legends like him and Nassar sir in front of you, is just unmatchable."
This role marks Dsouza’s acting debut, and his appearance in uniform as a dignified army officer has been appreciated by those who have watched the emotional drama unfold on screen. His presence, though brief, left an impact thanks to the powerful storytelling and character-driven moments that Tanvi The Great is being lauded for.

Uske uparant ye hamara saubhagya hai ki aap hamari film #TanviTheGreat theatre mein dekhne aaye! Aapne na keval hamari film ko saraha balki hamari film ke jazbe ko dekhkar ise TAX FREE bhi ghoshit kar diya.”
