‘Miss Lovely' selected for Cannes Film Festival

Indian filmmaker Ashim Ahluwalia's movie Miss Lovely has been selected to represent India in the non-competitive section of the 65th Cannes Film Festival. However, no Indian film has made it to the competition. Ahluwalia's movie is set in the lower depths of Mumbai's "C" grade film industry and follows the story of two brothers, who are producers of sleazy horror films in the mid-1980s. Miss Lovely will be showcased alongside 16 movies from different countries in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes film festival, said to attract 35,000 film professionals and more than 4,000 international journalists every year. Bollywood is also set to mark its presence at the gala as a bevy of stars such as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Mallika Sherawat, Sonam Kapoor and Bipasha Basu are expected to walk the red carpet at Cannes this year.
