MUMBAI: Actor Anupam Kher has expressed deep pride and excitement ahead of the screening of his three films at the 56th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa.

The slate of films set to be screened includes Anupam Kher’s ‘Tanvi The Great’ and ‘The Bengal Files’, followed by the Canadian film ‘Calorie,’ which is written and directed by Indo-Canadian filmmaker Eisha Marjara.

Kher shared palpable joy over the triple recognition, describing it a significant milestone in his career. “It is a very proud moment for me to have three films at the 56th International Film Festival of India in Goa. I am not sure if any other actor has had such an opportunity. While our home production ‘Tanvi The Great’ and ‘The Bengali Files’ will be screened in the Indian Panorama section, ‘Calorie’ is a part of the International section. It is a great honour and a great feeling. All these three films have different performances,” he said.
