Deepika Padukone to be a part of Cannes Film Festival jury
By MYBRANDBOOK
Actor Deepika Padukone is going to be a part of the main jury at the Cannes Film Festival this year. The jury for the Festival's 75th edition, which will run from May 17 to 26, will be presided over by French actor Vincent Lindon.
Deepika began her movie career with a Kannada film, Aishwarya, in which she played the titular character. She soon hit the limelight with the Shah Rukh Khan starrer, Om Shanti Om in 2007 that fetched her a Filmfare Award. Later, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela as well as Piku with the late Irrfan Khan and Amitabh Bachchan firmed up her position in the Hindi cinema. She also acted in the Hollywood production, XXX: Return of Xander Cage.
Vincent Lindon is a talented actor who is said to have been reportedly close to Monaco's Princess Caroline at one point of time. He scooped the Best Actor Award for The Measure of a Man at Cannes 2015, where he played a character of a laid-off factory hand pushed into serving as a security guard, a position he hated. Lindon won international fame with this work.
The last French star to have been the jury president was Isabelle Huppert in 2009. French celebrities have often held this role in an anniversary year, such as Yves Montand in 1987 for the 40th Festival, Gérard Depardieu in 1993 for the 45th edition, and Isabelle Adjani in 1997 for the 50th.
The nine-member jury will also include Asghar Farhadi, British writer, director and actor Rebecca Hall, Swedish actress Naomi Rapace and Jasmine Trinca (actor-director from Italy) among others.
