Off lately the Cannes Film Festival has been making much news in India. Indian filmmakers seem to have taken the festival as

an ideal platform to promote and display their films to the global audience. So after Vishal Bharadwaj’s adaptation of Othello

and Suneel Darshan who are all set to head towards the Cannes Film Festival, there’s another entity who is heading there.

Media and entertainment giant UTV will yet again be at the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival with the home-production Rang

De Basanti being the lead product to showcase. The International Distribution Division of the organization is organizing two

market screenings of Rang De Basanti for key trade and media.

While some of UTV's previous titles like Pradeep Sarkar's Parineeta and Mahesh Manjrekar's Viruddh will feature in the

catalogue, forthcoming ones like Priyadarshan's Chup Chup Ke, Farhan Akhtar's Don and Vishal Bhardwaj's Blue Umbrella will

also be a part of the strong U T V slate.
