Deepika Padukone debuted at red carpet of Cannes Film Festival 2017 as a representer of the global cosmetic giant L'Oreal Paris.

During the media interaction, she said, "I think internationally the perception of Indian cinema is about colour, culture, song, dance, that grandeur and scale. For them, it is still about larger than life characters. Having said that, there are movie lovers who are well versed with our cinema which is beyond that."

"I was talking to Susan Sarandon and she was telling me that her son is making a film where he picked up the dance element from Indian films that he incorporated in his film. So you know the perception is that. Yes, I know that our movie is beyond song-dance saga but I think there is a lot to do with educating international audience about our cinema," Deepika also said.

As there is no Indian film screening at the festival, on this, Deepika said: "It is unfortunate that this year there is no Indian movie we have to show, but I am sure it will happen and there is no point of being hard on us. I mean from 'Devdas' to 'Gangs of Wassepur', they have got a chance to get expose to our cinema. It will happen in the future for sure."
