While Homebound is already buzzing as a Cannes 2025 entry, co-star Vishal Jethwa offered a fun behind-the-scenes look into his working relationship with Janhvi Kapoor. The duo, along with Ishaan Khatter, are headlining Neeraj Ghaywan’s latest cinematic gem that’s heading to the Un Certain Regard category.
Speaking with Filmfare, Vishal expressed how surprisingly down-to-earth Janhvi was. “She laughs at my middle-class jokes. I didn’t expect that!” he chuckled, adding, “I thought she’d only like English humor, but she connected with my desi vibes.”
Vishal also praised Janhvi for her approachability, saying, “She never made anyone on set feel like she was ‘Janhvi Kapoor.’ She was one of us.” His honesty gives fans a refreshing glimpse into the camaraderie among the cast and a peek into Janhvi’s real personality beyond the glitz.
With a moving storyline, powerhouse producers, and a festival premiere just days away, Homebound is building momentum as one of Cannes’ must-watch Indian films this year. And if Vishal’s warmth and humor reflect the film’s emotional undertones, audiences are in for something truly special.
