Cannes 2025: Vir Das sarcastically shows ‘deep regret’ on not attending prestigious film festival and his reason will leave you in splits

The 78th Cannes Film Festival commenced on May 13, 2025. A dress code prohibiting nudity and elaborate outfits, particularly those with long trains, has been the talk of the town at this event. Vir Das, known for his wit, has expressed remorse, albeit sarcastically, for not being able to grace this illustrious occasion due to this rule. His amusing explanation is sure to make you laugh out loud.

Today, May 14, 2025, I shared a heartfelt message on Instagram about my decision regarding the Cannes Film Festival 2025. In the post, I expressed my sadness by stating, “I feel compelled to share that I regretfully must forgo attending this year’s Cannes film festival due to the newly implemented red carpet rules.

He humorously commented, “Over countless generations, voluminous, nude gowns with long trains have been associated uniquely with comedy. This year, I had designed an extra-long, 78-foot, off-shoulder dress in a pale beige that delicately transitioned into sleeves covering my wrists, but dipped lower to subtly reveal the center of my torso. However, if I can’t wear a genuine G*ta creation, I won’t let our culture be sidelined.

Vir stated, “Instead of capturing several culturally meaningful selfies, I’ve decided to make a statement. I hope the festival goes well.

The actor-comedian captioned his post with folded hands and yarn emojis.

Online spectators found themselves chuckling at the comments section. They joined in on Vir Das’ jest, with one individual expressing, “We honor your choice and support you during these challenging times,” and another adding, “Keep up the good work.” A user expressed, “I adore these monologues,” and another echoed, “Someone needed to say it.

The Cannes Film Festival is scheduled to run until May 24, 2025. A host of Bollywood stars, including Alia Bhatt, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and others, are anticipated to grace this event. Additionally, Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, Karan Johar, and the entire Homebound crew – who have been selected for the Un Certain Regard section – will be in attendance.
