"Having been on the jury twice, and an audience at Cannes many a time, I have to say, it is truly a haven for film lovers. I look forward to seeing how the audience there reacts to this film that I have lived with for almost 7 years. For me, this film and everything else that I do, will always remain a means to trigger conversations, a small step towards "the world we want to see".

The director said she will give finishing touches to the film before it heads to the festival. Das had unveiled the first look of the film at Cannes last May with stars Siddiqui and Rasika Dugal. Manto, best known for his stories on Partition, was born on May 11, 1912, and migrated to Pakistan after 1947 and died at the age of 55 on January 18, 1955. The film chronicles four years of Manto's life - two years before the Partition and two years after that - the most creative yet the most turbulent period for the writer.
