Martin Scorsese Joins India’s Cannes Un Certain Regard Selection ‘Homebound’ as Executive Producer


Martin Scorsese has boarded Indian filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan's Cannes Un Certain Regard selection title 'Homebound' as an executive producer.

In the film, desperate to break free from the weight of their marginalized identities, two childhood friends from a North Indian village – Shoaib Ali (Khatter) and Chandan Kumar (Jethwa) – push against a world stacked against them. “Homebound” is co-produced by Mélita Toscan du Plantier, who also produced Ghaywan’s “Masaan,” which debuted at Cannes in 2015 and won the Avenir and Fipresci prizes in the Un Certain regard strand. Having @martinscorsese_ , a true legend of cinema, lend his wisdom and support to Neeraj’s remarkable vision elevates our film to a rare artistic height,” Johar posted on Instagram.
