Ghaywan's directorial debut "Masaan" also premiered in the same category at Cannes in 2015.
The premiere of "Homebound" at the Debussy Theatre was attended by Ghaywan as well as the star cast - Ishaan Khatter, Vishal Jethwa and Janhvi Kapoor. They were joined by producer Karan Johar as well as Apoorva Mehta and Somen Mishra, his colleagues from Dharma.
Khatter said it has been a pleasure to work with a filmmaker like Ghaywan.
"He is somebody I have loved and admired for many years... It's an honest and sincere effort of making a film with a human beating heart. I hope all of you enjoy it. I hope the film speaks for itself," he said.
Jethwa said "Homebound" feels like a step forward for "all of us".
