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.

We recently came across some photographs of Preity Zinta doing some heavy duty stunts. Upon further enquiry it was

discovered that the actress was shooting a commercial for a shampoo brand she endorses. The ad was being shot in

Bangkok, where she was for three days.

Preity fans sure will see her in a whole new avatar. She was seen dressed in a silver body suit. She plays a warrior woman and

will do a lot of action sequences. Directed by Atipat Kamolpaet, the entire ad was shot in front of a blue screen. The reason

being that, a lot of special effects and animation will be used. It was quite a challenge because Preity was required to emote,

based on her imagination of what is happening around her.

Preity was quite excited about the entire concept. She even gave her inputs so that the ad would be more action packed.
