Rahhat, who debuted in 2016 at Cannes with his film "Mantostaan" and then with “Lihaaf” as a co-production between French producer Marc Baschet and Rahhat Kazmi’s company, has been instrumental in introducing many actresses and actors and backing them at Cannes. This time, Rahhat himself walked the red carpet for his upcoming international film “Love in Vietnam” starring Shantanu Maheshwari, Avneet Kaur, and Vietnamese superstar Kha Ngan in the lead roles. "Love in Vietnam" is backed and produced by veteran filmmaker Omung Kumar, alongside Captain Rahul Bali and Abhishek Ankur, co-produced by Tariq Khan, Zeba Sajid, and Samten Hills Dalat in association with Vikas Sharma and Kritika Rampal.

The launch of the film was such an outstanding event at the Bharat Pavilion and Cannes Film Festival that even the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting tweeted about it, besides every news portal posting about it. When asked, Rahhat told the media that the reason “Love in Vietnam” was so well received at Cannes is that this is the first-ever co-production between India and Vietnam, and it is based on the best-seller Turkish novel ‘Madonna in a Fur Coat’. The film is going to be an interesting and unique love story with an international appeal in its treatment.

When further replying to a question by the media, he expressed his happiness and pride in presenting his birthplace Kashmir’s culture and attire at Cannes and promised to bring more traditional styles to the red carpets of Cannes and other festivals.
