Chairperson of the Central Board of Film Certification and lyricist-poet Prasoon Joshi, who is part of the Indian delegation at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, considers "India as a storyteller`s country".

Speaking to ANI about the festival where India has been named the `Country of Honour`, he said, "India has always come to Cannes and we have all learned a lot here. There are two parts to Cannes-- one is the market and the other one is where the films are showcased. I think both have been very important for us and this is a special year because India is the `Country of Honour`."
