Katrina to Attend Cannes & BV il B Shown

The Cannes Film Festival has been an international platform for Bollywood beauties for almost a decade. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, and Freida Pinto have been attending the festival due to their association with L'Oreal Paris (as brand ambassadors), Katrina Kaif became the latest brand ambassador in 2014, but her attendance is yet to be announced.

According to Pinkvilla, Kaif was supposed to walk the red carpet alongside Bachchan and Kapoor but she had dates committed to Bang Bang,' (2014) and was hoping to attend the 2015 edition. She had talked about it at the L'Oreal Paris Women Achievers Awards' last year. "That is still to be seen if we can, but it seems a little unlikely because of Bang Bang' being a little delayed. There is a little too much of date problems between Bang Bang,' Phantom,' and Anurag Basu's film. So it may not be this year, but next year."

Kaif is the successful brand ambassador of many women brands, like Veet,' which she has also been associated with for a decade. While she is backed up with shooting for Fitoor,' with Aditya Roy Kapur, the world is still awaiting to see L'Oreal Paris' newest face.

Bombay Velvet' has been the talk of the town ever since it was announced. The name Ranbir Kapoor was all it took to start a frenzy. Anurag Kashyap's choices, pairing Kapoor with Anushka Sharma, and roping in Karan Johar to debut in a negative role helped Kashyap built up quite the curiosity. Now, there are speculations that the film is a strong contender for the Cannes Film Festival, from May 13th-24th.

According to the Hindustan Times, Kashyap has been making all the right moves for the film to be eligible to make an appearance at the prestigious festival. The official selection will be announced in Paris, by April end. Cannes has a strict rule for the films chosen. They must be only premiered at the festival, and not the country of origin. Bombay Velvet' will be releasing on 15th May, after the festival opens.

If chosen, this will be the fourth of of Kashyap's films to be screened at the festival, namely Gangs of Wasseypur,' (2012) Bombay Talkies,' (2013) and Ugly' (2014). This film is hugely awaited due to Kapoor's limited appearances on the silver screen since his last film Besharam' (2014). He was last seen in a cameo appearance in Roy,' (2015) but his other two films, Jagga Jasoos' and Tamasha' are as awaited because of his pairings with Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone respectively.

Sounds exciting! I'm curious to see what she's going to wear.
