All that Bollywood can at ‘Cannes’

The 68th annual Cannes Film Festival, which starts today in the beautiful city of Cannes, France, is all set to make a lot of headlines, like it has been doing, year after year.

This year, the world would see not one or two but three Indian beauties walking down the red carpet of the Cannes film festival. All three divas, namely Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Katrina Kaif would be representing the popular international cosmetic brand, L’Oreal.

This would be the Cannes debut of Katrina Kaif, as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor have already appeared and represented the brand at the prestigious film festival.

Katrina Kaif would be walking the red carpet on the first and second day of the festival, which means that she would be gracing the red carpet today and tomorrow.

For Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who completes 14 years at Cannes this year, the red carpet appearance would be towards the end of the festival, reportedly on 17th and 20th May.

Sonam Kapoor, for whom this is the 5th Cannes appearance, would be showing off her elegance on 16th and 18th May.

Talking of movies, there are two Indian feature films that will be screened under the Uncertain Regard section. The first one, titled Masaan has Richa Chaddha in the lead. The movie has been shot in Varanasi, is directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and co-produced by Anurag Kashyap. The second movie is Gurvinder Singh's Punjabi movie Chauthi Koot, which is a period drama set in Punjab of the 1980s.

Other than this, there is a short movie to be screened, called Miyan Kal Aana, which is produced by actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui and directed by his brother Shams Siddiqui.
