Ready to walk the red carpet

Gearing up

Katrina Kaif is ready to make her red carpet debut at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, but the actress says she intends to enjoy the platform, which weaves cinema, fashion and beauty together, instead of fretting over her looks. “I don't think I am going there to set any trend or look. I don't think that is my intention. I think my intention is to be me,” said the actress.

The 31-year-old is yet to decide on her look for the film fest but notes that she will pick the ensemble soon.

“I have not decided the look. We would be working with the team at Cannes, which consists of some amazing hair and beauty technicians. We haven't thought whether it would be Indian or western look. We haven't made any plans but we will zero in on it soon,”  said Katrina.

A cursory glance at the bouquet of films at the fest will highlight lack of Indian presence.

Apart from first look of ‘Jazbaa’, Punjabi film  ‘Chauthi Koot’ and Neeraj Ghaywan's debut feature ‘Masaan’ are headed to the international film festival. The actress terms the dearth of Indian films as a passing phase. “I think every year is different. Sometimes we have the right kind of films for the festival and sometimes we don't. So this is just not our year.”

“I'm sure there will be many more years to come,” said Katrina, who had a slow start in Bollywood with ‘Boom’ but went to draft a successful story with hits like ‘Namastey London’, ‘Welcome’ and ‘Singh Is Kinng’, she said. On the professional front, Katrina is busy with ‘Fitoor’ and ‘Jagga Jasoos’.
