Mumbai, May 21 (IANS) 'Girls Will Be Girls', produced by couple Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal, is set to premiere at the prestigious 77th Cannes Film Festival under the Cannes Écrans Juniors category.
Ali said: “From the very beginning, we knew 'Girls Will Be Girls' was a special project. The response at Sundance was beyond our expectations, and now premiering at Cannes is a dream come true.
He praised the debutante director Suchi Talat and said that she has crafted a beautiful, poignant story that deserves this platform.

"We believe in the power of stories that challenge and inspire, and 'Girls Will Be Girls' does just that. It's a film that speaks to the complexities of growing up, and we can't wait for the Cannes audience to experience it.”
The film is scheduled to screen on May 22 and 23 at Alexandre III theatre, and on May 24 at Raimu Hall.
