like every year, Bollywood is all set to the Cannes Film Festival by storm. Mallika Sherawat and Uday Chopra tweeted pictures from the French Riviera.
The Dhoom actor, Uday Chopra whose co-production Grace of Monaco has opened the festival, is excited to be there for the first time. Kamal Hassan, who is leading the Indian delegation to the prestigious fest, will inaugurate the pavilion along with popular faces like Arun K Singh, Bimal Julka, Uday Chopra and Jerome Paillard.
Filmamaker Dibakar Banerjee, who has co-produced Titli, has refrained from representing either Bollywood, or Titli. “I am neither representing Bollywood in Cannes and nor Titli. Indian cinema when goes out of the country is presented as Indian cinema; Bollywood is just a sub-genre,” he said.
Aishwarya Rai Bacchhan, whose red carpet appearances have been a matter for global discussions, has not yet revealed her wardrobe details. The veteran actress will be making her 13th appearance at the festival. India’s information and broadcasting ministry will also launch a first-of-its-kind resource guide.
