After Filmistaan and Airlift Inaamulhaq who continued giving attention grabbing performances in 2017 in films like Jolly LLB 2, Lucknow Central and Firangi is ecstatic about his first lead role in his next titled Nakkash and its first look to be unveiled at the India pavilion at Marche du Film in Cannes Film Festival 2018.

Excited about Cannes, Inaamulhaq says "I am still trying to seize the fact that I'm going be a part of world's most renowned film festival where wonderful movies are screened every year. I am fortunate enough for being able to join such an amazing platform where great work is recognized. I am humbled and grateful to everybody's contribution for making all my dreams come true`.

Further adding about playing the lead Inaamulhaq adds, `For common people in India there is no concept of 'lead', they simply say 'Hero' of the film and that 'Hero' is defined by certain qualities like body muscles, 6 packs etc. and I don't think that qualifies me. So, I always waited for the film where script is the 'Hero' and I am the protagonist. It is every actors' dream to play the protagonist. My dream finally came true and the credit goes to my director and producer who believed in my work and gave me the responsibility to play a lead role in Nakkash. The entire team worked really hard and i hope the result will pay back and Cannes is just a beginning." Inaamulhaq concludes.

The film is Directed by Zaigham Imaam who has earlier Directed "Dozakh- In search of Heaven" and "Alif" which were showcased in many festivals worldwide. Zaigham Imaam is also one of the producers of the film in collaboration with Pawan Tiwari' Jalsa pictures. The team will leave for the Cannes in the first week of May. They are currently preparing for 14th May, the event slated by India Pavilion at Marche du Film in Cannes Film Festival 2018.
