Restored version of Shyam Benegal's 'Manthan' to premiere at Cannes Film Festival

The restored version of veteran filmmaker Shyam Benegal's 1976 film "Manthan" will be screened at the upcoming edition of the Cannes Film Festival, said Shivendra Singh Dungarpur, founder of Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) on Thursday.

Fronted by Smita Patil, the film was inspired by the pioneering milk cooperative movement of Verghese Kurien, who led 'Operation Flood' to transform India from a milk-deficient country to the world's biggest milk producer and is credited for creating the billion dollar brand Amul.

According to Cannes Film Festival website, "Manthan" will be screened under Cannes Classics, a section created 20 years ago which features celebrations, restored prints and documentaries.
