The Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), the
largest film festival in the Southern Hemisphere, recently announced, the
multi-talented actor and superstar Rani Mukerji as the Chief Guest for this
year.
As per tradition, the Chief Guest of the festival
is the one who hoists the Indian national flag at Melbourne's main public
square. This year, the honour to hoist the flag will be given to the every
loved and fantastically talented actress, Rani Mukerji who has also been nominated
under the Best Actress category for an IFFM Award.
Rani will hoist the flag in front of thousands of
Indian- Australians and people from the Subcontinent Diaspora who throng
Federation square just to see the hoisting of their national flag on Saturday
August 11th. Taking into consideration the weekend, every
year IFFM ensures to celebrate the Indian Independence week at the iconic
landmark. She will be in the company of
the High Commissioner of India in Australia and The Mayor of Melbourne.
Each year, the Flag Hoisting is always the most
anticipated and definitely a goosebump inducing moment and this year Rani's
fans will have the privilege of not only seeing her live but also unfurling the
tricolour.
On being the chief guest and hosting the flag,
Rani said “To unfurl the national flag is a matter of pride and great honour
for every Indian and to be a part of such a prestigious occasion and do the
honours outside your nation in a foreign land is even more special. I’m
delighted ,honoured, extremely humbled that they have chosen me to do the
honours this year. I am really looking forward to be there at Federation Square
in the company of all the Indian-Australian people ”
