Being featured at Cannes is a badge of honor — a symbol of global relevance and artistic distinction. For Mahua Network, participation in Cannes 2025 is a historic achievement for Indian regional media. The Mahua Network stall at Cannes 2025 was inaugurated by veteran actor Anupam Kher and Mr. Abhay Sinha, President of the Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPA). Their presence added great pride and significance to this landmark occasion. As we step onto the international stage, we carry with us the voices, colors, and dreams of millions from the towns and villages of India.
