'Grace of Monaco' starring Nicole Kidman and co produced by Bollywood producer, Uday Chopra of Yash Raj Films, is set to open the 67th Cannes Film Festival.

Directed by Olivier Dahan, the American-French biography film highlights the life of Grace Kelly. Pierre-Ange le Pogam and Arash Amel both wote the screenplay which is selected to open the 67th Cannes Film Festival on May 14. The film will screen as Cannes official selection and the opening ceremony will be broadcast to a number of participating cinemas.

“Incredible as it may sound, Kelly met the Prince during the Cannes film festival in May 1955 when she headed the American delegation to the French Riviera”. According to an article published in Hindustan Times.

'Grace of Monaco' tells the story of the efforts by the late Princess Grace of Monaco (the former Grace Kelly, played by Nicole Kidman) to make peace between her adopted country and France. Grace, just 33-years-old, gave up an acting career to become Monaco’s First Lady, maneuvering a political minefield to resolve the situation.

Chopra said in a press release, “I knew from the moment I read the wonderful script, penned by Arash Amel, that we had something special, and watching Nicole bring that character to life only increased my excitement about the project.

I guess today, after viewing the film, the Cannes Film Festival agrees with our belief in the movie and shares in our excitement. I feel proud that YRF Entertainment in its first release in Hollywood has managed to reach this milestone. My only regret is that my dad is not alive to see this happen.”

The YRF Entertainment company isn’t just working on this major project for Cannes. According to Yash Raj Films article, “YRF Entertainment is also producing Arash Amel’s follow-up to 'Grace of Monaco'. This is an adaptation of Chris Greenhalgh’s 'Seducing Ingrid Bergman'.

The film will be released by The Weinstein Company in the U.S.
