Sharmila Tagore will be attending this year's Cannes Film Festival 2025 for a special screening. She will be present at the screening of the 4K restored version of master filmmaker Satyajit Ray’s 1970 film Aranyer Din Ratri. The movie, which stars Sharmila Tagore, will be screened at Cannes under the Classics section, the organisers said on Thursday.
Tagore, who collaborated with Ray on several other projects, will walk the red carpet at Cannes 2025 with Simi Garewal, who also played an important role in Aranyer Din Ratri alongside her. While speaking about this milestone, Tagore shared, “It’s wonderful that Manik Da’s (Ray) Aranyer Din Ratri has been restored and will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival this year. This is a very special moment for me, and I am so happy that I will be in Cannes to present the film at the premiere.”
