Summary: The new George Miller action film starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Chris Hemsworth received an overwhelming positive response at the Cannes Film Festival.

Following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2024, George Miller's Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga received tremendous acclaim. According to a new report from The Hollywood Reporter, the fifth edition of the action franchise received a 7-minute standing ovation at the Grand Lumiere Theatre. Cast members Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, and director George Miller were all present.

Furiosa was met with great enthusiasm and affection at Cannes, where Chris and Anya welcomed fans outside the theater and delighted them with selfies. Anya wore a gorgeous champagne-colored Dior ball gown with Tiffany & Co. jewels. Meanwhile, Chris chose black trousers, a white jacket, and a shirt without a tie (a dress code breach at Cannes).

Aishwarya Rai, a Cannes veteran, was photographed at the Mumbai airport on Wednesday night. The actress was seen traveling to the French Riviera to attend the Cannes Film Festival. She was accompanied by her daughter and her regular travel companion, Aaradhya. However, her broken hand drew everyone's attention.

While the actress remained silent about her suspected injuries, fans expressed their fears on social media. A fan wrote, "Oh my God, what happened? Aishwarya, are you okay? Another commented, "What royal behavior. She is ready to slay, even with an injured arm." "Did anyone see Aaradhya helping her mother with the handbag?” A fan commented, "Aishwarya, you will always be a queen. No matter what," another person said, "please take care of your arm." Another one wrote, "Cannes," "Get ready for our queen, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan."

Aditi Rao Hydari, Shobita Dhulipala, Jacqueline Fernandes, and Ki ara Advani will all be in attendance at Cannes. Urvashi Rautela posted photos from the French Riviera, while Deepti Sadhwani made her red carpet debut on Wednesday.
