Though not an official entry at the Cannes film festival, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is expected to be shown to select distributors and critics for promotion ahead of its release in India and abroad.
And Preity Zinta , who plays an important role in the multi-starrer, will accompany producer-director, Karan Johar , to the festival later this month.
"Karan and I are looking mainly at projecting our film at the festival,'' Preity told a leading newspaper recently.
The movie, whose star-studded cast also includes Amitabh Bachchan , Shah Rukh Khan , Abhishek Bachchan and Rani Mukherjee , is about relationships and marriages not being as perfect as they appear.
Preity plays an ambitious magazine editor in the film.
After she escaped the tsunami disaster in 2004, she stopped signing films and began to look at her life in a different way, Preity said.
"For almost eight months I stopped working ... Tsunami made me value what I have,'' Preity said.
"I wrote down all the things that I have in life to be grateful about. And it was quite a long list," Preity said, referring to her successful film career and happy personal life.
Preity was fast asleep in a beachside villa in Thailand when the killer waves struck in December 2004.
Preity ran and survived. Friends who had traveled with her, however, did not make it out - something she does not like to talk about.
She is again a busy actress, shooting for three movies, which will hit the screen over the next six months or so, Preity said.
