After doing the rounds of the international film festival circuit and winning critical appreciation for his debut film Masaan, Neeraj Ghaywan is now being counted among the directors to watch out for. And he holds a special place for the Jagran Film Festival as it was the first in India to screen his movie. "I take a lot of pride as Jagran reaches almost every house in the country and when such a group screens your film, it is a prestigious thing," he said.
