Actor Inaamulhaq says Nakkash, which is based on the story of a Muslim craftsman who uses his skill to engrave Hindu Temples in Varanasi, says the film is quite relevant in the present times. Directed by Zaigham Imam, the poster of the film was unveiled at the 71st Cannes Film Festival, in the presence of stars like Subhash Ghai, Prasoon Joshi, Divya Dutta and Huma Qureshi at the Indian Pavilion. He took to social media to express his gratitude to the audience.
"The journey started from Banaras (Varanasi) and has caught a little speed at Cannes. The destination is waiting somewhere else... But between the journey and the destination, there is something more significant which needs to be mentioned, and that is 'your love'," he wrote.
