Anupam Kher has talked on how content-driven films are becoming more popular. The seasoned actor talked about how “unknown” people are suddenly becoming well-known in an interview with News18 Showsha. He cited Delhi influencer Nancy Tyagi, who made a great red carpet debut at Cannes 2024.

Take a look at what occurred in Cannes

Anupam discussed recent films that garnered recognition for their performances and storytelling, including Diljit Dosanjh’s Chamkila and Kiran Rao’s Laapata Ladies, in light of All We Imagine As Light’s Grand Prix win at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024. Content is crucial in today’s world, according to Anupam. Though the audience has changed, it has always been that way. Actor Anasuya Sengupta and filmmaker Payal Kapadia, two unknowns, won the top prizes at Cannes. Take a look at what transpired. It’s incredible.

The actor said, “A Delhi girl walked on the red carpet stitching her own dress,” in reference to Nancy Tyagi. The globe has always been open to creativity, but this is especially true in India. Anything that doesn’t resonate with people doesn’t matter. You cannot make the audience feel smaller in order to dwarf them. They are accustomed to everything, including large cinema theatres, malls, and contemporary India. “Dekho hum apko Switzerland leke jaa rahe hai” is no longer acceptable. Well, that’s not the case at all. Agar achha hua toh choti film bhi chalegi aur badi bhi par content agar ‘Look, we are sending you to Switzerland’ ain’t no big deal. If a short movie is well done, even it can function. I believe that fakery is coming to an end.

Indians who dazzled at Cannes 2024

Payal Kapadia received the Grand Prix, the festival’s second-highest accolade, for All We Imagine As Light during the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival’s closing ceremony. It was an iconic moment in Indian film history. Additionally, the Un Certain Regard section prizes were revealed one day prior to the closing ceremony.

There were two Indian films that competed: The Shameless, directed by Konstantin Bojanov of Bulgaria, and Santosh, a police drama starring Shahana Goswami, from Sandhya Suri. The Shameless star Anasuya Sengupta made history by being the first Indian actor to win an acting award. The jury selected her as the Best Actress.

Furthermore, Chidananda S. Naik, a student at FTII, directed the Kannada short film Sunflowers Were The First Ones To Know, which was named the La Cinef Award winner for Best Short Film.

Furthermore, actress Sonam Kapoor, who is renowned for her fashion choices and numerous noteworthy Cannes red carpet appearances over the years, was impressed with Delhi-based fashion blogger Nancy Tyagi’s red carpet look at the Cannes Film Festival 2024, which garnered media attention. Sonam recently reposted Nancy’s Instagram Reel, which included her stylish saree ensemble.

Sonam praised Nancy, stating, “Best outfit in Cannes,” after choosing her homemade ensemble over Aishwarya Rai and Kiara Advani’s Cannes 2024 ensembles. With that, she asked Nancy to create an outfit for her, adding, “Make me something @nancytyagi__.”
