Actor Rahul Bhat, known for his role in Black Warrant, was present at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for the third time. He walked the red carpet for the teaser launch of Lost and Found in Kumbh, his Hollywood debut. Reflecting on the occasion, Bhat said, ¡°It feels like a true homecoming.¡±

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.
