Urvashi Rautela had also shared a set of pictures from the airport before she began her journey to Cannes. Dressed in an all-red ensemble, she said, “Off [flight emoji] 76th Annual Cannes Film Festival red carpet opening. Merci.”
Recently, Urvashi Rautela made headlines for filing a defamation case against a journalist who claimed that the actress was made to feel "uncomfortable and harassed" by her co-star Akhil Akkineni during the shoot of the Telugu film Agent. In a statement, she said, “Defamation legal notice has been served by my legal team. Definitely disgruntled by indecent journalist like you for your spurious/ ridiculous tweets. You're not my official spokesperson. And yes, you're very immature kind of journalist who made me & my family extremely uncomfortable."
In addition to Urvashi Rautela, actresses Sara Ali Khan, Manushi Chillar and Esha Gupta also attended the premiere of Jeanne du Barry. Some of the other big names set to attend the film festival include Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Anushka Sharma, and Mrunal Thakur. The 76th Cannes Film Festival is being held at Cannes' Palais des Festivals et des Congrès from May 16 to May 27. Last year, superstar Deepika Padukone attended the film festival in the capacity of a jury member.
