After Cannes high, Masaan to release in India on July 24

After winning two honours at the Cannes Film Festival, director Neeraj Ghaywan's debut film ‘Masaan’ will be released across India on July 24. The film, which stars Richa Chadha, Vicky Kaushal, Shweta Tripathi, bagged the acclaimed International Federation of Film Critics (FIPRESCI) in the Un Certain Regard category and the Most Promising Newcomer award for the director, at the recently concluded festival.

"I am happier for India and my team than myself. A win in the official selection has been long overdue for India and we have a double win. For so many years Indie supporters as Anurag Kashyap, Vikramaditya Motwane, Guneet Monga, and now Manish Mundra, have worked immensely towards giving a platform to Indian Indies with the limited resources they had, against the conventional Bollywood structure," Neeraj said in a statement. The film is a joint venture between Manish Mundra (Drishyam Films), Macassar Productions, Sikhya Entertainment and Phantom Films.
