Classic Indian actress Sharmila Tagore, the veteran of many films has been named as one of the members of the international jury of the Cannes Film Festival.

She joins the likes of French actress, Isabelle Huppert who heads this year's festival jury as well as Asia Argento (Italy), Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Turkey), Lee Chang-Dong (South Korea), James Gray (US), Hanif Kureishi (UK), Shu Qi (Taiwan) and Robin Wright Penn (US).
