It is a sign of celebration for me. I am wearing an Aipan motif stole made by Minakriti: The Aipan Project from Uttarakhand., which hires local women to create this local art form. It is a big day and I wanted to carry a culture on the red carpet."Abhilash walked the red carpet for Anurag Kaahyap's 'Kennedy', which also stars Sunny Leone and Rahul Bhat in pivotal roles and is set for a world premiere at the Midnight Screening section of the festival.
