Actor Rahul Bhat, whose films have been officially selected at the Cannes Film Festival twice, has shared his disappointment over how the event seems to have shifted its focus from cinema to style. In a conversation with Brut India, he reflected on how the festival`s essence has changed, and many online seem to agree with him.

Rahul Bhat on focus shifting from films at Cannes

Rahul highlighted that his appearances at Cannes were rooted in the merit of his films. “People come here to take pictures on the red carpet. But I’m proudly saying that I have walked the red carpet. Shouldn’t that be of some value? Instead, I’m having to point out the difference and tell people I was part of official selections.”
