Kangana Ranaut was last seen in Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi and is all set to feature next in Rajkummar Rao starrer Mental Hai Kya. Apart from that, the actress has been busy shooting for Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's Panga and after a gruelling schedule of the film, Kangana is looking forward cinema and couture as she makes her second appearance at Cannes Film Festival. She will head to the stunning French Riviera on May 15 to represent brand Grey Goose at the event.
Since Cannes every year is synonymous to high-end fashion, Kangana says she wishes to endorse Indian weavers at the prestigious festival. "The clothes I wear will have drama. At the same time, as an Indian actor, I have the responsibility of endorsing our weavers, and wearing outfits that reflect our rich heritage. My stylist Ami Patel and I have been brainstorming for a few weeks. We, along with Falguni and Shane Peacock, are designing a unique saree. The idea is to bring the forgotten weaves to the fore so that the world is more aware of our rich fabrics and culture," she stated to a daily.
Although she has proven to be a fashion icon in Bollywood, Kangana says she isn't one to fuss over a red carpet appearance for months. "I was so busy with Panga. I had to gain almost 10 kilos for the film. During trials, I realised I have to lose some weight," she quipped. Lastly, she cited examples of Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone from MET Gala this year, stating that a unique style of dressing is imperivate at such international galas. "In 2012, I attended Rakesh Roshan's birthday party sporting a no-eyebrows look. So risqué dressing has never been a deterrent. I was one of the first actresses to wear sarees to the airport. When I was seeing the Met Gala pictures, I thought that in India, the real queen of Camp would be Rekhaji. It's wonderful how Priyanka [Chopra Jonas] and Deepika [Padukone] are making their mark there," Kangana concluded.
To say the least, we cannot wait to see Kangana make an extravagant appearance at the Cannes red carpet once again.
