A.R. Rehman to represent India at Cannes festival

Music virtuoso A.R. Rehman will be India's guest at the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival.

An eminent artiste from India is included in the Cannes' guest list every year. This year the honour goes to A.R. Rehman.

The film festival begins on May 14.

The famed music director will wear specially designed clothes on the occasion.

Bollywood costume designers Shantanu and Nikhil have been engaged for this. These two have designed the costumes for among others Amitabh Bachchan and Saif Alikhan and actresses Deepika Padukone and Ketrina Kaif.

Rehman will wear a Jodhpuri Bandkala in blue, according to Shantanu. Rehman told them the dress could be in any colour but not black.
