    “I am very excited to be a part of the 15th Marrakech Film Festival as jury member. When I got to know I have been selected to represent India as the jury, I felt humbled and grateful. Coppola will be presiding over the jury and it is such an honour for me to be able to share and discuss cinema with him,” the actress said in a statement.
     
    The festival will be held from December 4-12.
