Martin Scorsese Joins Ishaan Khatter-Janhvi Kapoor's Homebound As Executive Producer Ahead of Cannes 2025 Premiere
Homebound is directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and stars Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa in key roles.
Ghaywan shared the news on his social media handles, and said that he is "still in disbelief" that Scorsese has joined his film.
"(It) 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!" he wrote on X.
Martin Scorsese said he loved Ghaywan's first film (Masaan) as a director.
"When Melita Toscan du Plantier sent me the project of his second film, I was curious. I loved the story, the culture and was willing to help. Neeraj has made a beautifully crafted film that's a significant contribution to Indian cinema. I am glad the movie is an official selection at Un Certain Regard in Cannes this year," Ghaywan quoted the 82-year-old director in his post.
Homebound is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra and co-produced by Marijke deSouza and Melita Toscan Du Plantier. The film also stars Janhvi Kapoor and Vishal Jethwa in key roles.
Ishaan and Jahnvi also expressed their joy on social media to have Scorsese joining their project.
