Raising a French toast

The Bollywood brigade attending the Cannes Film Festival seems to expanding by the day. For once, there will be many new faces seen on the red carpet, apart from regulars like Aishwariya Rai Bachchan and hubby Abhishek.

Saif Ali Khan, Sonam Kapoor and Minissha Lamba will also be making their presence felt in the French city. CS spoke to an excited Minissha, who leaves for the festival on May 10, to know more about her preparations:

Woody work
I am so excited to be invited for the festival and can't believe that I will actually be attending the premiere of Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. He happens to be one of my favourite directors and I have grown up watching his films. Annie Hall and Match Point are two of my favourite films by the director. So, it's going to be a lot of fun to be finally meeting him.

Film club
I'm really looking forward to watching lots of movies at the festival. And contrary to what people might think, I'm not going there to network. I believe you can only network when you have something to show, and this time at least, I'm not taking any film with me. Hopefully, next year I will. But if some exciting offer comes my way, then I guess it's just going to be destiny.

Wear and what
I still haven't decided what to wear for the premiere, but fortunately, I do have a couple of days to plan my outfit. And the best part is that I also have two-three spare days after the festival, so I'm sure this is going to be one enjoyable trip. I'll probably visit the French Riviera, enjoy the French cuisine and the nightlife.
