“Most films define the man as the only hero but in this case all three actors, Aishwarya, Shabana Azmi and Irrfan Khan, have equally significant roles in taking the story forward.
“And since the trio have a prominent international presence, an event at Cannes, which is the most prestigious film festival, was a welcome opportunity to get the international media together under one roof,” Chawla said in a statement.
“Jazbaa” is produced by Essel Vision, White Feather Films and Vikings Entertainment and is set to release worldwide on October 9.
