When asked about what he plans to wear at the extravaganza, which makes headlines for its cinema as well as fashion quotient, and Vicky said: "Okay, I never expected that someone will ask such a question to me. But I am wearing suits, tux, bandhgala. What can boys do apart from wearing suits?" he said.
"Yes, I want to it (bring an Indian element to the gala as far as fashion goes) this time," he added.
Vicky, who spoke to IANS over phone from Mumbai, attends the festival for the screening of filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's Raman Raghav 2.0. The movie is based on notorious serial killer Raman Raghav, who went on a murder spree in Mumbai in the 1960s. Actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui features in the title role and Vicky plays the role of a cop.
The Cannes Film Festival commenced on Thursday and will go on till May 22.
Post Masaan, this is Vicky's second film to head to the Cannes gala.
The actor said that he wanted to wear an ethnic outfit last time as well, but couldn't.
"I have always been wanting to (wear Indian outfit). We have three screenings this time, so I hope that I will be able to go Indian in one of the outings," he said.
The film's screening on May 16 is also special for him as it coincides with his birthday.
"It is the best gift that I could have asked for," said Vicky, who will turn 27.
