A former Bahrain resident and an acclaimed Indian film star walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival during the premiere of an old restored classic on Saturday.
Malayalam film actress Jelaja Prakash, who lived in Bahrain for more than two decades, was a guest of the festival to watch the screening of her debut 1978 film Thampu, now rechristened as Thamp.
The film, which was shown in the Cannes Classic Section, tells the story of a circus camping in a village for three days and the interplay of relations between the circus artistes and the villagers.
