By: Aanya

Talennt Ka Maha Utsav, like the pre-season, is screening films being made during Season 1 on the sidelines of the Cannes Film Festival.


One of the prominent awardees and an Icon Awardee is Anne Marie, senior executive with one of the biggest hotel chains in the French Riviera. She won the Iconic Achievers' Award for her exemplary work in the hospitality industry. Currently, she is working with the reputed HGB Hotel Group. Anne Marie said, "I am elated to win the iconic achievers' award, at HBG our idea is to give all the luxury hospitality together with the warmth of a home to all our guests."

Amit R Agrwal, founder, Talennt Ka Maha Utsav or #TKMU as the participants lovingly call it, told the writer - last year during the Cannes Film Festival we had a very successful pre-season showcase. Creatives from all over the world appreciated our initiative.

From 2025 onwards, #TKMU #BNHAF are giving awards to people that have done exemplary work and are from Cannes or born in Cannes. Just to honor the city and the residents that are hosting the biggest film event, on planet earth, for the 78th edition now - Agrwal chuckled. 

This year we are showcasing films from Season 1, though it is still on - "#TKMU thought to showcase the films. Having done theatre for close to a decade now, I am all excited that my films will be seen at Cannes", gushes Ankeetaa Siingh as she continued the conversation. Ankeetaa is a financial analyst and former beauty pageant winner, but her interest lays firmly in acting.


Agrwal said he is very busy these days preparing for the Cannes Film Festival. I have Cannes Film Festival consultancy running for three years now and many first-time clients want to 'crack the festival' through our expertise.
