Speaking at the press conference on the opening day of the festival, Deepika said,"I think we are all aware that it is a huge responsibility. But we have also promised each other that we are not going to burden ourselves with that responsibility. I think the idea is to remind ourselves of that audience or that young child who has grown up watching movies . I think cinema is such a powerful tool and powerful medium, it has the ability to impact people's lives and touch and influence people's lives," she said.

"I think to forget for the next two weeks that we actually have this burden and responsibilty and actually enjoy the creative process that is sort of what we are here for. I think we are all creative people. I don't think any of us have the capacity to judge or critique or criticise,"she added.

For the press conference, Deepika opted for a Sabyasachi ensemble. She effortlessly pulled of a tropical printed shirt, paired with a emerald green pants,a printed scarf on her head and a statement neckpiece.
