Says Nawaz, "I'm very excited about Vidya being at Cannes. This is the most prestigious festival and it's a big opportunity for her. It's a big honour for her and us. To be called there depends on the work you do and Vidya has the sensibilities and abilities as an actress. It's a big deal for anyone". he added that , "Vidya has made her own identity and there are few like her. The way actresses are used in a film, it's like they are just there and do nothing much in the film".
