Known for his culinary flair and charismatic screen presence, Ranveer called the experience 'magical,' echoing the sentiment so many have about the iconic French Riviera event.
'They said Cannes is magical… turns out, it really is!' he wrote on social media. Sharing a fun recap video from his trip, he added, 'CANNES!! You were so much fun! What an amazing trip.'
Ranveer turned heads in a white and teal deconstructed suit that combined sharp tailoring with playful, avant-garde elements — including quirky prints and a feathery shoulder detail.
The outfit broke traditional menswear boundaries, blending experimental materials and bold silhouettes with vibrant hues, perfectly capturing the spirit of creative expression celebrated at Cannes Lions.
This year's Cannes Lions Festival spotlighted the intersection of creativity, advertising, and the ever-expanding role of technology. As a content creator and culinary innovator, Ranveer's participation reflected how storytelling through food, media, and tech continues to evolve.
Brar, who rose to national fame with MasterChef India, has built a strong presence on television with shows like Ranveer's Cafe, The Great Indian Rasoi, and Station Master's Tiffin. His ability to blend culture, nostalgia, and contemporary flavours has made him a beloved figure in Indian households. Beyond television, he's a successful restaurateur, cookbook author, and digital creator, amassing millions of followers across platforms.
With his Cannes debut, Ranveer Brar not only represented India on a global creative stage but also demonstrated how chefs today are breaking out of the kitchen to shape conversations around art, innovation, and digital storytelling.

The caption of the post on which Ranveer commented read, 'Proud and honoured to bring the timeless story of 'Chiranjeevi Hanuman – The Eternal', to theatres, in a first-of-its-kind, 'Made-In-AI', 'Made-In-India' avatar.

Anurag Kashyap Slams AI Film, Calls Makers 'Spineless' Recently, Anurag Kashyap expressed disappointment with the film and wrote on his Instagram handle, 'Congratulations @vijaysubramaniam84. Here is the man heading the @lifeatcollectiveartistsnetwork that represents artists, writers, and directors, now producing a film made by AI. So much for looking after and representing the interests of creators. End of the day, all these agencies are only interested in making money off you, and since they choose turkeys after turkeys for you and you're not making enough for them, they are going all AI." 'Any actor or anyone who calls themselves artists and has a spine will be and should be either questioning him or leaving the agency since he has proved that he thinks you're no match for his AI performance. This right here is the future for the spineless and cowardly so-called artists in the Hindi Film industry. Well done, Vijay Subramaniam. Shame is not enough on you. You should be in the gutter," the filmmaker added. Prior to Kashyap, Vikaramaditya Motwane also called out the makers and said, 'And so it begins… Who TF needs writers and directors when its 'Made in AI'."
