The 75th Cannes festival will start on May 17th. This year, India was announced as the official ‘country of honour’ at the Marche’ Du Films also called Cannes Film Market, which is held on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival.
With the special honour, many Indian celebs will be seen walking the red carpet of Cannes 2022 for the first time ever. Earlier, Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor and Hina Khan among others have already made our country proud by representing India at Cannes Film Festival.
According to ANI, Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Anurag Thakur will lead the delegation from India to Cannes. The delegation will comprise artists from major music industries across India. The delegation will include actor-producer R Madhavan, Akshay Kumar, music composer AR Rahman, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Tamannaah Bhatia, Pooja Hegde and Nayanthara along with CBFC Chief Prasoon Joshi.
The 11-day festival is slated to begin on May 17 and run through May 28. Despite the pandemic, and the Covid-19 safety procedures, the 2021 edition of the festival managed to gather a larger number film stars, after Cannes 2020 was called off following a series of postponements.
Deepika and Aishwarya will reportedly be joined by TV actors Hina Khan and Helly Shah, along with many sought-after South Indian film actors, like Nayanthara, Pooja Hegde, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Tamannaah Bhatia, at the annual celebration of cinema.
