The three-minute trailer shows Tanvi Raina’s heartwarming relationship with her grandfather Colonel Pratap Raina and mother Vidya (played by actor Pallavi Joshi). Tanvi goes on a trip to Lansdowne where she develops her interest to join the Indian Army. She lost her father, Samar Raina (played by Karan Tacker) when she was young. He died while serving in the army. Tanvi is motivated to join the army as she wants to honour the legacy of her late father.

Anupam Kher took to his Instagram handle to share the trailer with a caption, "In a world that saw her through a different lens, she kept shining with a light that could not be unseen. Her smile awakens hope, her heart builds courage, and her journey inspires us all. And now, she is here to meet you all. She is #TanviTheGreat. Trailer out now! Arriving in cinemas on 18th July(sic)".

This film is my tribute to every person who is different but no less. It’s the story of an autistic, brilliant, and fiercely determined girl who dreams of joining the Indian Army. This is one of the most important films of my career, and I’m confident audiences in India will connect with it just as deeply as those around the world already have."
