    Deepika Padukone wowed the world with her Boho look during the opening-day photocall of the 75th Cannes Film Festival jury on Tuesday.

    Very different from the formal monochromatic look of the other seven members of the jury, Deepika stood tall in flowing lime green pants and a beachy shirt embellished with floral designs, all from fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee’s Tropic of Calcutta collection, as we were informed by her stylist Shaleena Nathani, complemented by a printed headband, chunky bejewelled necklace and jaunty heels.

    French actor and filmmaker Vincent Lindon, who starred in the 2021 Palm d’Or-winning film ‘Titane’, is the president of the jury, which includes, besides Deepika, Iranian filmmaker Asghar Farhadi, English actress and director Rebecca Hall, Italian actress Jasmine Trinca, French director and screenwriter Ladj Ly, Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, American director Jeff Nichols and his Norwegian counterpart Joachim Trier.

    Earlier on Monday, Deepika, a regular at Cannes since 2017, shared a video on her Instagram handle saying that she had landed in French Riviera. In the video, she gave a glimpse of Cannes and talked about her 11-hour flight from Los Angeles.

    Immediately after landing, she showed up for the festival-eve dinner at Hotel Martinez in a sequined rainbow-hued Louis Vuitton dress and brown high boots.

  • Hollywood blockbuster F9 to screen at Cannes

    Hollywood blockbuster F9 to screen at Cannes

    “F9” stars Diesel with a powerhouse cast including John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Michael Rooker, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell and Charlize Theron…reports Asian Lite News.

    F9 is the latest sequel to The Fate Of Furious which was released in 2017. The upcoming Vin Diesel-starrer “F9”, latest release in the “Fast & Furious” franchise, is the Hollywood “blockbuster” that Cannes Film Festival authorities promised to screen at the gala, to be held from July 6 to 17 this year.

    Ever since Cannes chief Thierry Fremaux told Variety that the forthcoming 73rd edition of the festival would screen a “planetary blockbuster”, a guessing game started among the worldwide press over which film he meant. Fremaux had teased the media at a June 3 press conference while announcing the Official Selection at the festival this year, saying the blockbuster in question wasn’t “No Time To Die” or “Dune” or “West Side Story”, which have been among the most hyped Hollywood films slated to release later this year.

    The premiere of “F9” at Cannes in the first week of July also makes sense because the film is scheduled to release on June 25 in the United States.

    “F9” stars Diesel with a powerhouse cast including John Cena, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, Jordana Brewster, Nathalie Emmanuel, Sung Kang, Michael Rooker, Helen Mirren, Kurt Russell and Charlize Theron. The film has already had its international release on May 19 and has grossed over $250 million worldwide so far, reports Variety. At Cannes, the film will have a public screening at the beach for delegates as well as locals and tourists. The cast is not scheduled to travel to the premiere owing to the ongoing pandemic.
