Neeraj Ghaywan, who assisted Anurag Kashyap in "Gangs of Wasseypur", has directed this film which features Richa Chadha, Sanjay Mishra, Shweta Tripathi and Vicky Kaushal in prominent roles.
"Masaan" is a joint production of Manish Mundra (Drishyam Films), Macassar Productions, Sikhya Entertainment and Phantom Films.
The film revolves around two parallel stories: the first is about a boy from a lower caste, who works at a crematorium (also called Masaan) in Varanasi, falling in love with an upper caste girl; and the other is about an upper caste girl (Richa) and her father (Sanjay Mishra) dealing with a sex scandal.
