Pooja told IANS, "First and foremost I am so proud that India will be the country of honour, this year, at the Marche' Du Film at the Cannes Film Festival. Our country has a rich history at the festival, which stems back to Chetan Anand's 'Neecha Nagar' winning the top prize at the festival in 1946. I strongly believe in the power of cinema and stories to overcome language, geographic and culture barriers."
"Cannes represents a unique celebration of those barriers being removed - through the coming together of Film, Culture and Fashion. The opportunity to be attending and representing India is one I will always cherish, and hope to continue to do so for the rest of my life," she added.
On the work front, Pooja is gearing up to shoot for 'Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali' with Salman Khan. She will also be seen in Rohit Shetty's 'Cirkus' alongside Ranveer Singh and Jacqueline Fernandez. Pooja also has 'SSMB28' opposite Mahesh Babu on her slate.
The actress is having a great year with Thalapathy Vijay's 'Beast' and Chiranjeevi's 'Acharya', both of which have done supremely well at the box office.
