The film is directed by first-time filmmaker Mayur Puri and produced by Mulberry Films, based in Los Angeles. The story is set during the Kumbh Mela and follows a London-based philosophy professor who travels to India with his British wife and son. While in India, he unexpectedly meets his Indian ex-wife and son. The family then loses track of the professor's father in the crowded Kumbh Mela, leading to the two half-brothers getting separated. Bhat's Cannes journey began in 2013 with Ugly, which premiered in the Directors' Fortnight section. He returned in 2023 with Kennedy, which received a seven-minute standing ovation at the festival.

Her latest ensemble included handmade floral appliqués on a sheer tulle corset, flowing into a sculpted silk crepe silhouette. The gown ended in three leaf-like shapes, symbolizing renewal and self-growth. She paired the look with green crystal earrings and a sleek bun. 'The dress has a dramatic impact on me,' Bodi said. 'It's about the ache of not receiving what you long for, and instead, having the courage to create it yourself.' Fashion with meaning: Farhana's red carpet message While her first look focused on glamour, Farhana Bodi's second appearance carried a more introspective tone. Her fashion choice conveyed a message of resilience, turning longing into self-created beauty. Her outfit brought together personal expression and high fashion, strengthening her position as a style figure with substance on the global stage.

Rahul Bhat to present his Hollywood debut Lost & Found in Kumbh at Cannes this year
Actor Rahul Bhat, who was last applauded for his acting chops in Netflix Black Warrant, is all set to present his Hollywood debut film Lost & Found in Kumbh at the Cannes Film festival this year. (Also read: 5 Indian films to be screened at Cannes Film Festival 2025: Tanvi The Great, Homebound, Aranyer Din Ratri) In an interview with Variety, Rahul shared his experience and said, "For a change, somebody offered me a dramedy. I've always been cast in dark, serious, violent roles. So I thought, let me try something different, something in English. We shot at the end of the Kumbh, but it was still intense—so hot, and so many people. It was tough, but also fascinating. This one's not meant to be taken too seriously. It's a cute, engaging film. You could call it a dramedy—or even a children's film in some ways." The actor will be attending the prestigious film festival for the third time, following his lead roles in Anurag Kashyap's Ugly which was shown in Directors' Fortnight in 2013 and Anurag's Kennedy which was screened at the Midnight Screening in 2023. Lost & Found in Kumbh is a dramedy helmed by debutant director Mayur Puri. The story of the film follows a London-based philosophy professor who visits Kumbh Mela with his British wife and son, only to find his Indian ex-wife and their son at his family home— and his father missing. As the family searches for him, the two half-brothers get lost in the massive crowd of the sacred festival. Produced by Los Angeles-based Mulberry Films, the film was shot on location during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj this year, which was aonce-in-144-years event that attracted over 500 million pilgrims. Rahul recalls that the production faced extraordinary challenges.

Rahul Bhat Returns To Cannes With Hollywood Debut Lost And Found In Kumbh
New Delhi – Actor Rahul Bhat, best known for his intense performances in Black Warrant and Anurag Kashyap's Ugly, is set to make his third appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. This time, he arrives with a new milestone—his Hollywood debut in the English-language dramedy Lost & Found in Kumbh, which will be showcased at the Cannes Film Market. Bhat's previous Cannes outings include Ugly (Directors' Fortnight, 2013) and Kennedy (Midnight Screening, 2023). With Lost & Found in Kumbh, he makes a dramatic genre and linguistic shift, stepping away from dark, brooding characters to embrace a lighthearted, family-centered story. Directed by debutant Mayur Puri and produced by Los Angeles-based Mulberry Films, Lost & Found in Kumbh tells the story of Maddy, a London-based philosophy professor who travels to India's Kumbh Mela with his British wife and son. The trip takes an unexpected turn when he discovers his Indian ex-wife and their son staying at his ancestral home—just as his father mysteriously disappears. As the family searches for him, the two half-brothers go missing in the vast and chaotic crowds of the sacred festival. The film was shot during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj—an event that occurs once every 144 years and draws more than 500 million pilgrims—offering an authentic and visually rich backdrop to the emotional narrative. Reflecting on the project, Bhat said,'For a change, someone offered me a dramedy. I've mostly played dark, intense characters, so this was refreshing—something light, something in English. We filmed toward the end of the Kumbh, and it was still overwhelming: scorching heat, huge crowds. But it was also magical. This one isn't meant to be taken too seriously—it's a fun, engaging film, almost like a children's story in parts. As actors, we often forget where we are, lost in our scenes, but this was the real Kumbh. You could feel it. After years of critical acclaim, I'm finally hearing the word 'hit,' and that's incredibly rewarding.' This Cannes visit comes on the heels of Black Warrant's runaway success on Netflix, where Bhat's portrayal of a tough prison officer with a hidden emotional core helped the series become one of the platform's most-watched global titles in 2025. Bhat will take on the role of controversial Indian politician Sanjay Gandhi in Summer of 77, directed by Sudhir Mishra and slated for release on SonyLIV.
