Gran es la forma apocopada de Grande. Se apocopa en la forma gran cuando precede a un sustantivo singular, masculino o femenino, aunque entre ambos se interponga otra palabra: mi gran amigo, una gran primera novela.

Grande and gran are two different words, it is just that they mean the same thing in English.
