"Cannes is celebrating Indian Cinema this year and I have never been more proud to be a part of this creative industry. I hope that the Bollywood inspired make-up looks we don this year at Cannes will make global style statements," she said.
Freida, who is popular in international circuits, too will be seen at the opening ceremony. She said: "I am very glad to see that India is getting a lot of recognition at global platforms such as Cannes.
Indian cinema has come a long way and is making a tremendous impact internationally and the new and young crop of indie and alternative filmmakers are definitely game changers to watch out for."
