Homebound marks filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan’s long-awaited return to the big screen and Cannes, especially a decade after his debut film Masaan premiered at the festival and won two awards. The Indian director spoke about his collaboration with Scorsese, “To have an icon like Mr Scorsese lend his name to Homebound is an honour beyond words. I’m deeply grateful to our co-producer Melita Toscan, who introduced us to him. Mr. Scorsese mentored us through the screenplay and multiple rounds of editing. He listened with care, understood the cultural context, and offered thoughtful, incisive notes each time. His kindness and commitment are extraordinary, and to have him nurture our film has been both a rare privilege and a profoundly humbling experience.”
Produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra, with Marijke deSouza and Melita Toscan Du Plantier as co-producers, Homebound promises to carry forward Ghaywan’s exploration of human relationships and social landscapes in modern-day India.
