‘Homebound’ marks Ghaywan’s return to Cannes
Ghaywan’s comeback
Homebound marks Ghaywan’s return to Cannes after a decade since his debut film Masaan premiered at the festival and won two awards.
Scorsese expressed his admiration for Ghaywan’s work, saying, “I have seen Neeraj’s first film Masaan in 2015 and I loved it, so when Melita Toscan du Plantier sent me the project of his second film, I was curious.”
