Actor Deepika Padukone will be a part of the competition jury at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The jury comprises five men and four women, who will pick the winners of this year’s Palme d’Or honours. According to the current speculation, Deepika, who has been a red carpet regular at the festival since 2017, would be expected to walk for all ten days.
Some of the films that will be screened at the prestigious festival include David Cronenberg’s dystopian sci-fi drama Crimes of the Future, starring Léa Seydoux, Kristen Stewart and Viggo Mortensen; the mystery thriller Decision to Leave from South Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy); and Showing Up from First Cow filmmaker Kelly Reichardt, which stars Michelle Williams. Meanwhile, previous Palme D’or winners including Hirokazu Kore-eda and Ruben Östlund are back in competition.
Deepika has always managed to leave the world stunned with her gorgeous sartorial looks from the Met Gala and Cannes Festival.
From transparent aubergine Marchesa gowns to a radiant fuchsia pinks and emeralds, she has always proved that she is the queen of the red carpet.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika was last seen in Shakun Batra’s domestic noir Gehraiyaan and prior to that, Kabir Khan’s 83, which chronicled India’s victory at the Cricket World Cup. She has Fighter with Hrithik Roshan in the pipeline as well as Pathaan, starring Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham. Pathaan is slated for a January 2023 release.
