Additionally, Smita Patil, the mother of the actor, will receive recognition at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, where her film Manthan will be screened. Prateik will also be walking the red carpet at Cannes for the first time this year. The actor responds before making his red carpet debut on how thrilled he is to be seeing his mother’s film play at the largest film festival. For Prateik, the occasion is “very symbolic,” he says. See what else he has to say about his mother, let’s investigate.
Prateik Patil Babbar’s Reaction to Mother Smita Patil’s Cannes 2024 Film Screening
Manthan, a 1976 film starring Smita Patel, will be shown at the Cannes Classics section. “My mother is going to be celebrated,” Prateik declares as he boards a plane to France to attend the largest film festival on the planet for his mother’s film. It’s a significant occasion for my family and me. Particularly for me, it has great symbolic meaning. I’m a really happy son.” He continues by saying, “This moment reminds me of how amazing a woman she us and how I am lucky to be her son.”
A few days prior, Prateik learned that Manthan was being screened. Fortunately, his visa came two days ago. So he bought the tickets to France and put all his work on wait. Prateik recalled that Manthan was a crowd-funded movie, with each farmer contributing two rupees to its production. “I always knew about it,” Prateik added. I used to hear my grandmother and aunt recount the film’s creation tale. As my grandpa was a farmer as well, I was always encouraged to take pride in my ancestry.” He said, “Also, I revisit my mom’s films very frequently, it’s like watching FRIENDS for me- you know what’s going to happen next, but you keep watching.”
Note that Prateik will be walking the red carpet at Cannes for the first time. In social media, Prateik shares a picture of his mother from the movie Manthan, writing, “The legacy continues.. 37 years since she left.. & yet she never ceases to blow my mind.” recalling the visage of her mother, Prateik wrote, “seeing her face at the #2024 ‘cannes film festival’ 37 years after her death.. on a #1976 film poster of her film ‘manthan’ restored for a world premiere in the ‘cannes classics section’ will be one of the most symbolic & iconic celebratory moments of my life.. & her legacy.. (for me).”
