Deepika Padukone will be at the Cannes Film Festival next month not as a L'Oreal ambassador but a member of the jury. The jury for the 75th edition of the world's most prestigious film festival was unveiled on Tuesday and is headed by French actor Vincent Lindon, who won Best Actor at Cannes in 2015. Joining Deepika on the jury are actresses Rebecca Hall and Noomi Rapace, familiar to mainstream movie buffs for their roles in Iron Man 3 and Sherlock Holmes: Book Of Shadows respectively. Also on the jury are Asghar Farhadi, Jasmine Trinca, Jeff Nichols, Ladj Ly and Joachim Trier. The jury will award the Palme d'Or honours at the closing of the film festival which begins on May 17 and ends on May 28.
Deepika Padukone joins a select group of Indian actors to have served on the Cannes jury - Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sharmila Tagore, Nandita Das and Vidya Balan.
