Hina Khan has been dominating headlines with her scintillating appearances at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival. The cinematic extravaganza has turned merrier for her with the poster launch of her second film, Country of Blind. Anushka Sen also stars in this flick.

Synopsis
What is 'Country of Blind' all about?

The Rahat Kazmi directorial derives its core story from HG Wells' short story The Country of the Blind. Set in the 1800s, this Indo-English film will see Khan essay the role of a visually impaired woman. The story is set in a valley full of blind people where, interestingly, the disability is neither a hindrance to normal life nor a handicap to happiness.

Launch
Poster was launched at the India Pavilion

After the poster launch at the French Riviera, Khan took to Instagram to share her thoughts on her upcoming project. "As an actor it was both extraordinary and interesting to play a blind girl for more reasons [than] I can write now," wrote the Hacked actor. She also mentioned how cinematic experimentation is difficult and elevating it to a global level is astronomically harder.

Appearances
Khan has been turning heads at Cannes

Khan has been serving looks at Cannes, slaying in different shades of varying colors. During her first appearance on Friday, the 34-year-old looked straight out of a fairytale in a lilac gown by Sophie Couture and styled by Sayali Vidya. Earlier on Thursday, she raised temperatures in a black outfit by Fovario, and on Saturday, looked bewitchingly beautiful in golden attire, also by Fovario.
