The next Cannes is in India because if it's not, then I don't know where Cannes will go. We're the land of stories. The West is plateauing and the East is rising. We are the east, we've to step forward," said Shekhar Kapur. Chairman of CBFC Prasoon Joshi added, "Any culture which becomes confident starts manifesting its core. Have we started doing that?
