"Shocking report that Cannes bans flats on red carpet! Director of 'Amy', Asif Kapadia says his wife was given rough time too. Unacceptable surely," Azmi posted on twitter.Earlier Hollywood actress Emily Blunt had also criticised the Festival's reported practice though festival director Thierry Fremaux had denied that there was any such rule.
