Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar is surely making giant strides in Bollywood with each passing day. Recently, the actor was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke Award for Upcoming Talent and now we hear that Ali has been invited to attend the prestigious Cannes Film Festival scheduled to be held later this month.

Ali, who made a successful debut with Tere Bin Laden, has since been seen in films like Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and London Paris New York. The actor's popularity in India has grown by leaps and bounds and no wonder then that the authorities of Cannes Film Festival considered it worthwhile to invite Ali to the French Riviera.
