Cannes 2017: First look of Priyanka Chopra's Nepali movie Pahuna unveiled at film festival [PHOTO]

The first look of Nepali movie Pahuna, produced by Priyanka Chopra, has been unveiled at the ongoing Cannes film festival. The movie is based on people from Sikkim.

The makers of Pahuna, which means guest, are delighted to have the first look of the film being shown at the big platform. Priyanka and her mother Madhu Chopra have jointly produced the movie.

The first look of Pahuna shows two kids, having an intense look on their face. One small boy is seen taking care of a baby and a girl cooking in the background. Pahuna is a movie on how three children, separated from their parents during Maoist agitation, escape from Nepal to Sikkim.

"Thirteen years ago, when I went to Darjeeling and Gangtok, I realised how easily I was accepted by the people as one of their own. Soon, I forgot that I was a guest and began to see the mountains as my home and that has never changed," Hindustan Times quoted director Paakhi A Tyrewala as saying.

"In Pahuna, I wanted to capture not only the beauty of Sikkim but also the beauty of its people. Pahuna is the story of people of Sikkim. My vision is not to take Sikkim to Bollywood, but to bring Bollywood to Sikkim," she added.

While the first look of Pahuna was unveiled at Cannes 2017, the movie will reportedly have a world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
