Indian actor-producer Deepika Padukone will present an award at the upcoming BAFTA Film Awards, set to be held on Sunday evening.
Padukone, 38, shared the list of confirmed presenters issued by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) on her Instagram Story on Tuesday.

At last year’s Academy Awards, Padukone introduced the live performance of ”Naatu Naatu”, the hit Telugu song from ”RRR” which went on to win the best original song Oscar.
Former winners Emma Mackay and Jack O’Connell will present the Rising Star Award, according to the official BAFTA website. Actors Phoebe Dynevor, Ayo Edebiri, Jacob Elordi, Mia McKenna-Bruce, and Sophie Wilde are vying for the honour.
Former ”Doctor Who” star David Tennant is set to host the BAFTA Film Awards, which will take place at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
