On May 14, Das took to his Instagram account to share a humorous post poking fun at the festival's recently announced restriction on 'naked dresses'. The policy, which aims to limit revealing attire and garments with long trains that obstruct movement, has sparked a flurry of reactions online.
He took a dig at the organisers for the unusual rule released prior to the festival and stated that he had decided not to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
'It is with deep regret that I announce I will no longer be attending the Cannes Film Festival because of the new red carpet rules. For multiple generations, nude voluminous gowns with large trains have been culturally specific to the comedy community.

This year I had planned a dark beige, 78-foot-long, off-shoulder piece that moved finely into sleeves that covered my wrists, but dipped lower and gently showcased the heart of my scrotum. But if I cannot wear a Gota original, I refuse to let our culture be shunted. I was planning on taking multiple selfies of cultural significance. But someone has to take a stand. I wish the festival all the best,' he wrote.

Cannes policy
The official policy of Cannes stated: 'Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theatre are not permitted.'
This isn't the first time Cannes' fashion rules have caused confusion or controversy. In previous years, women attendees were reportedly required to wear high heels — a regulation that drew criticism, especially after stars like Julia Roberts and Kristen Stewart publicly defied it.

We call it a heartbeat. Today, the Supreme Court says - take away every stray dog of the streets of Delhi-NCR and lock them away. No sunlight. No freedom. No familiar faces they greet every morning," the note read. 'Yes, there are problems - bites, safety concerns - but caging an entire community of animals is not solution but an erasure. The real fix? Large-scale sterilization programs, regular vaccination, unity feeding zones, and adoption campaigns. Not punishment. Not imprisonment.' Janhvi Kapoor's Instagram message wrote- 'But these aren't just 'stray dogs.' They're the ones who wait outside your tea stall for a biscuit. The silent night guards for shopkeepers. The wagging tails that welcome children home from school. They're the warmth in a cold, uncaring city. Yes, there are issues, bites, safety concerns, but caging an entire community is not a solution, it's an erasure.' The note added, 'What's truly needed? Large-scale sterilisation programmes, regular vaccination drives, designated community feeding areas, and proper adoption efforts. Not punishment. Not imprisonment. A society that cannot protect its voiceless is one that is losing its soul. Today it's the dogs. Tomorrow… who will it be?' Filmmaker Siddharth Anand also spoke out, 'There's simply no compassion left. Who will ensure they're fed in those shelters? At least on the streets, some kind-hearted souls still feed these voiceless beings. In shelters, they'll starve. This is a death warrant. Someone, please start a petition. We must stop this genocide. I stand with you!'

This measure not only flouts our legal responsibilities but also betrays the compassionate principles that India is meant to uphold.'
