“It was fun and I was very happy to see that film is making buzz not only in India, but here at Cannes as well. Presonally, I am not on social media but I now I am for sometime for L’Oreal and I saw it was trending at No. 1 in India.

“It was definitely being recognised. Even in the interactions here (at Cannes), everyone was like ‘Jazbaa’ has become topical and IS creating buzz,” she added.

“Jazbaa”, an action-drama, also features Irrfan Khan, Shabana Azmi, Anupam Kher and others. The team gave a sneak peek of the film at Cannes fest gala on Tuesday.
