In my role as a lifestyle expert, allow me to share a fascinating insight: Recently, I had the pleasure of being part of an intriguing film project, all thanks to discovering Neeraj’s first film, Masaan, back in 2015. I was instantly captivated by its charm and when Mélita Toscan du Plantier presented me with the opportunity to collaborate on his second film, my curiosity was piqued. The story resonated with me, the cultural aspects were intriguing, and I felt compelled to assist in bringing this masterpiece to life. Neeraj has skillfully crafted a film that not only graces but also significantly enriches the Indian cinematic landscape. I am thrilled that this movie has been selected as an official entry at Un Certain Regard in Cannes this year.

Excited about Martin Scorsese joining their production, he said that having a cinema legend like him contribute his knowledge and support to Neeraj’s brilliant concept will take their film to an uncommon artistic level.
